Creative Castles in P3/4
P3/4 have been building castles this week as part of their IDL. They had already researched castles and drawn plans for them to follow. Have a look and see what you think!
Victorian Inventions in P5/6
P5/6 have been learning about Victorian inventions this week and had a go at being Victorian detectives. We had a look at some objects from Victorian times and tried to guess what they might be used for. We then looked online at photos from a Victorian museum to find out if we were correct.
Building Castles
As part of P2’s interdisciplinary learning we focused on castles and this week we have been looking at the features of a castle.
As part of our technology outcomes we have planned and sketched our castles and selected the materials we would need to construct them.
We are in the early stages of building the castles but here are some pictures to show our progress so far.
ICHS Cluster Football Festival
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.

STEM- Cup Challenge
Primary 7b, used problem solving, communication and resilience to carry out our ‘Cup Challenge’. In our groups we completed 4 cup stacking challenges, where we had to build the shown cup arrangement only using an elastic band and string.
We could not touch the cups with our hands. Here are some photos of us in action!
Santa’s Den
P6/7 and P7 had a visit from Santa this week. Pupils worked together in groups to design and create a new mode of transport for Santa. Each group then had to pitch their design to Santa, explaining how their mode of transport was environmentally friendly , cost effective, how it moved, etc.
Santa was very impressed with our designs! Well done to Santa’s winning team!
