Our incredible Rotary Club took part in a cluster quiz at Peel Primary School today. Mrs Gurney accompanied the group and she was extremely impressed with their general knowledge, teamwork and overall sportsmanship! A huge well done to the boys and they brought home the bronze plaque to-boot! We are so proud!! What an achievement! Watch out Mastermind…Joshua, Ross, Brennus and Harris are coming to get you! đđđđ
We are so very proud of our OUTSTANDING Glee Club who ââTried Everythingâ and Took on the Worldâ at Howden Park Centre tonight! We could see every single smile, hear every single voice and last but not least we could feel your passion and enthusiasm! No trophy lifted but youâre certainly winners to all of us at Toronto! Â Well done everyone and thank you to our amazing families who always turn out and support us! Your enthusiasm and encouragement was, and always is, so very appreciated! Well done to all other schools involved (Peel, Addiewell, Southdale and ofcourse, triumphant winners, St.Ninians RC school – West Lothian has talent in abundance! đ Thank you Mr Platt, Ms Muir, Mrs Steel and Noriko for everything!
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. Â They were super excited and absolutely did our school proud whilst participating alongside children across our cluster. Well done boys and girls, weâre so proud of you and the infectious giggles as you bounced back into school proved that you had fun! Donât believe us? Check out Miss Munroâs video đđź
What a terrific Tuesday I had with Primary 4 yesterday when they accepted a big challenge of running this yearâs 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.
As some of you may know from following us on Twitter, on Friday we were lucky enough to have been awarded âVery Goodsâ by the Care Inspectorate who dropped in on us last week for a formal visit. Â The role play in our brick area has substantially evolved and after the introduction of reels, bamboo, tyres and material the results were golden! We stood beside the inspector in awe of our talented children and she was blown away. We knew as practitioners to stand back, observe and allow our amazingly creative children to do what they do best…play! Hereâs a teeny snippet of a very real day at Toronto! Enjoy đ
We are absolutely loving working with PE specialist Mr Stewart and our brand new PE teacher, Mr McLeish. Half of our school will be participating today and half again next week. Our new PE teacher, Mr McLeish will be joining us fully later in February. Â We are very excited to have you on board! #PE #fitness #healthandwellbeing #gymnastics
Primary 4 were excellent today at practising their badminton serves. We were working on our hand-eye coordination to make sure we were sending the shuttlecock to our partners. Our target for next week is to send the shuttlecock back and forward 5 times without it hitting the floor. We love a challenge! 
We have been learning all about fractions today in P2. Here are two superstars showing off how to make fractions from everyday objects!
Children in our P1-3 department have been thoroughly enjoying taking part in a range of construction based challenges this week! These challenges have been collaborative, motivating and above all FUN! We have had to learn how to co-operate in mini teams, problem solve, persevere and express our own ideas using a wide range of practical materials! Here are a few snapshots of Primary 3/2 in action…with a couple of sneaky P7s who wanted in on the building site action! Oh and Ms Elder who was instructed by the Site Manager to wear her hard hat and high viz waistcoat before she could pass through đ
After reading all about cress seeds, some of Ms Elderâs superstars decided to grow their very own cress in pots. They loved observing the daily changes and kept a visual photographic diary for all of us to see each day when we passed by the classroom. We hope you enjoyed tasting them at home on your sandwiches! Well done everyone!
