P7 Track and Field Championships
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!
P1 and P1/2 Go Wild in the Woods!
This week P1 and P1/2 had the best time during their Kids Gone Wild session with Rob and Jax.
The children enjoyed relaxing in the hammock, swinging on the tree swing and flying down the zip line. Even some of the adults had a go on the zip line!
Signing and singing the alphabet in P5
Two Primary 5 pupils have been keen to share their knowledge of what they have been learning in class and during their own time. Here they are signing and singing the alphabet!
P7 Visit to Heriot Watt
Primary 7 enjoyed a visit to Heriot Watt University where they had fun designing and testing their own parachutes, took part in fun activities to programme the Sphero bots and also learned more about life at University.
In January Primary 7 pupils took part in the Watt Box challenge, set by Heriot Watt University. The University staff challenged our P7’s to design a chariot which could travel 2 metres and be pushed or pulled by a Sphero Bot. The staff from Heriot Watt were so impressed with the enthusiasm and skills shown by the children, including their preparation and design process, and as a result Toronto Primary were chosen as the Inveralmond Cluster winners.  For being the winning ICHS cluster school Heriot Watt invited our P7 children to visit the university to take part in a variety of STEM based activities.
Flying Forces
Primary 5 are looking at forces in science.
Our challenge today was to design a parachute showing air resistance and gravity. This involved working in a small group, sharing ideas, testing parachutes and evaluating designs.
P5/6 Go Wild
P5/6 loved their outdoor learning session with Rob from Kids Gone Wild.
We enjoyed being in the woods, climbing trees, building dens, playing hide and seek, zip lines and using our imagination to create our own fun and games.
Trip to Forth Bridges Education Centre
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!
ICHS Cluster Football League
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.
Outdoor Learning @ Toronto
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.
