Our French Breakfast
This term, in French, P5 have been learning all about food. We have played hangman in French and used ICT to reinforce our learning.
Today we enjoyed a French breakfast and activities linked to our learning. This included: writing in French, role play of being in a café and a wordsearch.
P3/4 have been building castles this week as part of their IDL. They had already researched castles and drawn plans for them to follow. Have a look and see what you think!
On Wednesday this week a group of our P5 and P7 children attended West Lothian’s Dragons Den event where they pitched their social enterprise idea to a panel of local businesses in the hope of gaining investment in their business The Toronto Boutique and Pantry.
The children asked for investment in order to expand our already successful boutique, to include other school resources, eg. school bags, lunch bags, pencil cases, etc. and also to add our very own Toronto Pantry. The children’s aim is to support our families with the increasing cost of living by helping to lower the cost of the school day.
All pupils spoke confidently before the panel of dragons and an audience of mainly secondary pupils and adults – Mrs Black and Mrs McDougall are so proud of each and every one!
Although we didn’t win the main investment, we did secure a £50 seed funding to invest in our Toronto Boutique and Pantry.
We plan to share our vision for the expansion of The Toronto Boutique and Pantry at our next Parent Council Meeting on Tuesday 19th March.
We will also share all our plans and how you can access our Boutique and Pantry, here with you when we have ironed out all the logistics.
As part of P2’s interdisciplinary learning we focused on castles and this week we have been looking at the features of a castle.
As part of our technology outcomes we have planned and sketched our castles and selected the materials we would need to construct them.
We are in the early stages of building the castles but here are some pictures to show our progress so far.
This week we welcomed Destination Judo to Toronto, who spent 2 days with us providing all our classes with a taster session in Judo.
Everyone enjoyed their lesson with Sensei Euan. We had lots of fun and learned some new skills!
Another way we celebrated Read a Book Day at Toronto was for Primary 1 and 7 to spend time reading with their buddies. The Primary 7s did a great job at helping their P1 buddies choose a book to read together and take home. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!
To celebrate Read a Book Day, Toronto Primary took part in a Teacher Reader Swap. Each teacher took their favourite short story to read to another class. It was a great way to celebrate reading and everyone enjoyed listening to a lovely story from a different teacher!
