We are delighted that our clubs are up and running again at Toronto. This week saw our first club, Level 1 Bikeability, up and running.
Next week we have P4-7 Tennis on Monday, P4-7 Choir on Wednesday and P1-3 Football on Thursday. We are hoping to add more to our list soon!
Through our recent learning we have been finding out about the Romans.
We looked this week at Roman foods and were shocked at some of the items they would have on their feast menus – can you imagine eating peacock, tongue or dormice!
We created our own Roman Feast menus with a variety of foods we thought we might like to try.
Today we had our very own Roman feast with a variety of foods to try, some we were a bit apprehensive of but we all tried some new foods today and are very proud of ourselves!
For Challenge Poverty Week, P6/7 explored the ‘Cost of the School Day’. We now have an understanding of how the school day costs money for families. We discussed the things Toronto Primary School does to support families in reducing the cost of the school day.
You may remember a few months ago that we launched an app design competition for our P1-7 children through the Make It Happen Club, a charity whose aim is to inspire children’s digital learning!
This week Frances from Make It Happen returned to Toronto for a special Assembly to announce the winning design.
Frances and the engineers had such a difficult time choosing a winner as all the entries were of such a high standard.
Some children were awarded certificates for inspiring ideas for their apps. Frances then announced our two runners up and our overall winner, who were all absolutely delighted with their prizes.
The Make it Happen engineers built a first version of the winning app before the assembly so that we could all see and download it straight away. After the assembly our winner worked with Frances to refine their app.
Well done to all our children who entered and those who received an award for their efforts.
A huge thank you to Frances and the Make It Happen Club for allowing us to be part of this fantastic opportunity!

Mrs Black organised a special ‘Sports Assembly’ last week where we came together as a whole school to celebrate our sporting successes and achievements over the last year. Awards were presented to individuals and we celebrated the sporting successes shared through wider achievements outside school as well as in school. We presented certificates of thanks to a number of our partners who have made it possible to offer some of the sports activities we have done this year!
We also said a sad farewell to our Active Schools Coordinator Mrs Livingston, who is moving on to work with a new cluster of primary schools in West Lothian.
On Tuesday this week a group of Primary 5 and Primary 7 children made their way to the Assembly rooms in Edinburgh to attend the Social Enterprise Academy’s Award ceremony, where they collected an award for their work they have done with the Toronto Boutique so far and their plans to develop it further to include a food pantry.
The Assembly rooms were so beautiful, we were in awe of the grandeur. We also got to listen to the Deputy First Minister, Kate Forbes speaking about how we are contributing to changing the future.
Two Primary 5 pupils have been keen to share their knowledge of what they have been learning in class and during their own time. Here they are signing and singing the alphabet!
