Leave a reply

Toronto’s Language Ambassadors set the whole school a Christmas challenge over the month of December. Their challenge was for every pupil to design a Christmas bauble that shared some traditions or language from another country. The designs we received were fabulous. it was so hard to choose winner. The baubles depicted traditions and languages from all over the world and was a super representation of the cultures and languages spoken in our school – Bulgarian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Polish to name just a few.

The Language Ambassadors announced 1 winner from each class this morning at assembly, the winning designs were hung on our school Christmas tree.

P4/5’s Roman Feast

Leave a reply

Through our recent learning we have been finding out about the Romans.

We looked this week at Roman foods and were shocked at some of the items they would have on their feast menus – can you imagine eating peacock, tongue or dormice!

We created our own Roman Feast menus with a variety of foods we thought we might like to try.

Today we had our very own Roman feast with a variety of foods to try, some we were a bit apprehensive of but we all tried some new foods today and are very proud of ourselves!

Make It Happen

You may remember a few months ago that we launched an app design competition for our P1-7 children through the Make It Happen Club, a charity whose aim is to inspire children’s digital learning!

This week Frances from Make It Happen returned to Toronto for a special Assembly to announce the winning design.

Frances and the engineers had such a difficult time choosing a winner as all the entries were of such a high standard.

Some children were awarded certificates for inspiring ideas for their apps. Frances then announced our two runners up and our overall winner, who were all absolutely delighted with their prizes.

The Make it Happen engineers built a first version of the winning app before the assembly so that we could all see and download it straight away. After the assembly our winner worked with Frances to refine their app.

Well done to all our children who entered and those who received an award for their efforts.

A huge thank you to Frances and the Make It Happen Club for allowing us to be part of this fantastic opportunity!

Parachute Fun in P1

Leave a reply

Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been having fun with Mrs Graham, Mrs Stewart and Mrs Black, with the parachute!

We loved trying to keep the ball on the parachute, then we changed our game and were actually aiming to get the ball through the hole in the middle. We enjoyed sitting inside the parachute as we turned it into a mushroom, Mrs Black thought we had all disappeared! Our favourite game though was cat and mouse! Even one of the Primary 7’s joined in with us!

This week Primary 7 attended WL track and Field Championships at Craigswood Sports Centre. There were teams of boys and girls competing in long jump, shot put, 80m, 600m and 4x100m relay.

All pupils gave their best and enjoyed taking part and cheering each other on.

Well done to one of our P7’s who was awarded first place in shot put!
