In maths this week, P1a have been learning about different ways to collect data. So far we have looked at pictograms, tally marks and bar graphs. The class have had lots of fun exploring this! Super work primary 1!
Yesterday and today has been all about making new friends and learning new challenges at camp! Everyone slept really well last night. Miss Lawton was pampering the girls by braiding their hair whilst over in the boys dorm Miss Watson was enjoying listening to Harry Potter and the Philospher’s Stone but the boys zonked before the end of chapter 2! Fresh air works wonders! A tasty full breakfast for everyone this morning and another full day ahead today followed by disco fun tonight! I think these smiles are even bigger than the ones from yesterday 🙂
From the look on these little faces, we can tell that our Primary 7 campers had a ball yesterday! Enjoy day 2 everyone! We can’t wait to see more photos of all the memories you’re making!
Primary 3/4 have been working hard over the past week on their Interdisciplinary topic “The Titanic”. The pupils were set a challenge to “raise the Titanic from her watery grave” by reproducing the unsinkable ship in their classroom. The children worked well together to decide upon how they would like to display the ship in their room. They then split into teams and took a part of the display each to work on. The finished product was completely the work of the children. They worked together to establish their ideas, list the resources they required, shared out the jobs and the work and then put all the elements together. Their Titanic display is quite impressive and definitely meets the criteria set in the challenge, by demonstrating their skills, teamwork and creativity.
After all that hard work, it was time to enjoy the sunshine! We took our PE outdoors and practiced some of our races and skills we will need for taking part in our Sports Day that is coming soon. We loved racing each other and had lots of laughs when balancing the bean bags on our heads!
Last week Toronto Primary hosted our cluster Cross country event for all P6 pupils. The sun was shining and all Primary 6 were raring to go. Each pupil gave it their all and put a great amount of effort in to complete the route in great times, on such a warm, sunny day!
Congratulations to one of our own pupils, Kayla, who came FIRST in the girls category!
We are so proud of her achievement! Well done Kayla!
In numeracy this week, primary 1 have been learning about the value of numbers and have been working on putting numbers in the correct order from smallest to largest. The extra challenge has been that some numbers are missing! We also worked on making numbers using ten frames so we could see which numbers were bigger in a different way. A particular highlight was our 100 square challenge where they all worked as a team to make up the giant 100 square. Well done P1 🙂 so proud!
A small group of Primary 5/6 children noticed an area of their playground which was beginning to look bit tired, and they wanted to do something to make it look a bit nicer.
The trellis arch in the playground just outside our P4 classroom was looking like it could be doing with a bit of a spruce up. So these girls got together to come up with a plan to redevelop the area. The team decided they wanted to raise funds to fix the broken panels of the trellis, paint it to make it more attractive and buy some plants to train to grow on it. To do this they decided to hold a raffle. The girls created a sensory pack for the winning ticket – they created their own sensory bottle, stress balls and mindfullness colouring book (all made by themselves), to award the winner.
Every day this week the girls have been selling tickets throughout the school and have raised a total of £32. The winning Ticket was drawn this morning and Karly (P4) was delighted with her Sensory pack.
The P5/6 pupils now plan to write to the janitor to ask for their help in fixing the panels before using their funds to buy paint, which they have asked the gardening leadership group to assist them with painting.
Well done girls, and thank you for going above and beyond to make Toronto fabulous!
Back in March the team representing Toronto Primary beat off our local opponents and qualified to go through to the next round of the Rotary Quiz, at Murrayfield PS.
Yesterday the team headed off for the next round, all set to represent Toronto. They showed great knowledge, skill and teamwork to answer a wide variety of questions, with their favourite round being the observation round.
Although they did not win this round they have definitely done us proud by their shining example of hard work, collaboration and dedication.
Here they are pictured with their certificate, which we will display with pride.
Primary 1 went on a bug hunt and had a fantastic time!
