Primary 4, Primary 3/4 and Primary 3 had a wonderful time at the Forth Bridges Education Centre today. We listened to a quick bridges and engineering presentation then completed an engineering challenge in groups. After lunch we walked across the Forth Road Bridge so the children could experience the scale and structure of the bridges. Well done everyone!
This morning was the final round of the ICHS Cluster football League and Team Toronto were up for the challenge. After coming into the league late Team Toronto are proud of their achievements and were delighted with their medals.
This week P5 had their first rugby session with Sam from Livingston Rugby Club. We had lots of fun learning new skills and got very competitive in some of the team challenges.
This week some of our P7 children took part in some fun outdoor learning and baking activities with Mrs Steel.
They had fun at the swing park and enjoyed building dens in the woods. Today they have been making delicious Angel Delight Cones.
Primary 4’s visited Inveralmond Community High School for the cluster sports festival. We participated in four types of sports (football, basketball, dancing and hockey). We played with children from different schools in Livingston. There was also a cool down area where we got to rest and have our snack. We even got to see our old P3 teacher Mrs Kinross! We enjoyed it because it was really fun but we got soaked on the walk back to school. We enjoyed having the opportunity to visit Inveralmond as it might be our future High School!
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.
