Primary 7B have been learning about inventors during the Victorian Period. This week we learned about Alexander Graham Bell and the invention of the telephone. We then created our own paper cup telephones. We were so impressed with how well they worked!
This week P1 visited WL College to take part in some Active Schools activities.
The children really enjoyed practising their ball skills and playing fun games. Some of their favourites were Duck, Duck, Goose, Domes and Dishes and Sleeping Pirates.
This morning our P7 Football team took part in their first competitive matches at the Inveralmond Cluster Football Festival.
Team Toronto have been training hard and their coach Miss Telford was delighted with their performance at their first event. The teamwork, determination, skill and stamina were exemplary! The team were proud of their efforts today too, especially when the managed some great results in some difficult games.
The outlook for Team Toronto is positive and they can’t wait until their next game!
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!
As part of Safer Internet Day our Digital Leaders delivered presentations to all our children at Toronto, from Nursery right through to P7.
They shared information and knowledge around the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people, with the the theme for this year of ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’. The team enjoyed delivering these presentations to the classes and also hosted quizzes for our older classes and read stories relating to this theme to our younger children.
P7 girls had their first rugby session this morning with Sam from Livingston Rugby Club, learning skills, developing fitness and having lots of fun!
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!
What a week we have had this week! It truly Christmas Parties, Santa’s Den, Christmas Assemblies, Nativity. Even the Toronto Staff couldn’t help but get into the Christmas Spirit! It really is a wonderful time of the year!
Christmas and Happy holidays to all, from everyone at Toronto!
