We had a great time looking at the books that are available to buy with World Day Vouchers. All pupils at Toronto PS will be receiving a voucher on Thursday 1st March, World Book Day. We are looking forward to swapping books and having a good day highlighting the importance of books and reading.
All these books are available from all good shops to buy with your World Book Day Voucher that all children at Toronto will receive by Friday 2nd March. Have a great World Book Day when it comes!
Primary 4 have started their BIG plans for their new healthy tuck shop (opening for business soon!) They realised that they could not start building in the school without planning permission from Mrs Gingell. Luckily we have been working SUPER hard on our persuasive writing that we were able to write fantastic persuasive letters to her. The builders paid Mrs Gingell a visit today – let’s hope we get the planning permission that we need!
UPDATE!! PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED!
You made it impossible for me to refuse permission for Toronto’s Terrific Tuck Shop. You gave many excellent reasons for why we should open a healthy tuck shop. In your letters you listed
lots of important skills you will develop through this process.
And most importantly, you have done some excellent research and you will be selling grapes, which you know are my favourite fruit – very persuasive P4 🙂
I look forward to the grand opening!

To celebrate World Book Day in Thursday, we would like to ask everyone to bring in a book from home that they are finished reading and wouldn’t mind swapping with someone else in school. Books should be in very good condition. Children can send in more than one book and our aim is that all children in our school get to swap a book and leave with another. This was hugely successful 2 years ago and we are really hoping for the same thing again this year. Please send books in tomorrow or Wednesday in preparation for World Book Day on Thursday. Please note: there is no need to dress up this year. Our goal is not to spend money on costumes but to promote a love for reading. This doesn’t mmmm not apply to nursery children as they are launching Big Bedtime Read on Thursday instead. Thank you in advance.
Today at our whole school assembly we enjoyed celebrating the achievements of many of our children from across our school when they were recognised for effort, manners and for helping others.
We were treated to a glimpse of our Glee Club performance which was outstanding! Thank you to Mrs Steel, Ms Muir, Mr Platt and Noriko our dance teacher, for helping us get ready for next week’s big performance! Make sure you remember your props for rehearsals this week everyone.
Mr Graham reminded us all of the basics of Building Learning Power with a little help from some volunteers who showed perseverance, collaboration and lots of effort! We’re looking forward to working more on mini BLP sessions over the next few weeks.
Primary 4 children shared their World Book Day challenge with everyone. They have been busy creating posters asking if everyone could bring a book in to swap and keep on Thursday. Please note, there is not a necessity for children to dress up on Thursday for World Book Day – we’d just love you to bring in a preloved book for swapping 📚📙📘📚
Primary 5 have been learning to use SWAY and YAMMER. These are both available for the children to use from home. All they have to do is enter their glow email and password to a phone or tablet if one is available.
SWAY can be used as an alternative to POWERPOINT and is an easy way to make presentations. The children have already made one in class and can add to their SWAY library at home if they wish.
YAMMER means to whine, complain and to talk loudly!! YAMMER is a tool which connects the class as an online discussion group. The children can share knowledge, opinions and build a learning community with it.
This week we are discussing the pros and cons to : Should Kids be Allowed to Bring Phones to School? The children are welcome to add comments at home, again through GLOW.
WELL DONE P5 for all, your GLOWING hard work.
Come to our birthday parties to make sure you get an equal amount of party treats. We had lots of fun dividing up all of our goodies between our 4 guests… What a fun way to learn division! #everybodyisequal

Today our wonderful primary 4 children, along with Miss Munro, Mrs Hardie and our lovely parent helpers Vivienne and Fiona headed down to Craigswood Sports Centre to participate in a badminton festival. They were super excited and absolutely did our school proud whilst participating alongside children across our cluster. Well done boys and girls, we’re so proud of you and the infectious giggles as you bounced back into school proved that you had fun! Don’t believe us? Check out Miss Munro’s video 👌🏼
What a terrific Tuesday I had with Primary 4 yesterday when they accepted a big challenge of running this year’s Book Swap (next Thursday). They were challenged to create posters using a digital app called Comic Life. Some children chose to work independently, whilst others were in a pair and they worked so hard that they even set their own success criteria based on their individual confidence levels. The buzz in the classroom was exciting and engaging and the results were fabulous!! Next week we will be learning how to log into our Glowmail and will answer a big question set on our new Yammer group! Watch this space…thanks so much P4, Mrs Simpson.
This week we came together as a whole school community for our weekly assembly to discuss the importance of spreading positive vibes through the medium of cheery bananas! Each class received a special positive message written on a banana and their challenge this week is to fulfill some of these positivity challenges, for example, brighten someone’s day with a smile, believe in yourself and you’re halfway there and ofcourse the favourite – put on your positive pants! 😂
