At Toronto PS our children always impress us and make us proud…today was a goosebump kind of day, as together, we celebrated the life and times of the great Robert Burns.
Liam from P5 kicked the whole thing off by piping each class into Assembly where our House and Vice Captains presented poetry winners from across the school with wonderful certificates.
We managed to catch a few on video…we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did! Follow the next few posts for all of the fun!
We were feeling extremely humbled in Nursery today when Alison from the charity Mary’s Meals came in to collect a cheque for an incredible £80.38!
As part of our recent work on citizenship, Nursery staff decided that instead of accepting Christmas gifts from our lovely families, this year that we would ask them to forget the gifts for us and to try to contribute 25p so that we could raise £13.90 to feed a child for a year in a developing country. Mary’s Meals offered to double whatever we Managed to raise. Our amazing Nursery parents loved this idea and blew our target out of the water! We raised £80.38 which, once doubled by Mary’s Meals, will feed 12 children for a whole year! We can’t believe it! We are so grateful to have the most incredible children and families in our Nursery!
Alison, the representative from Mary’s Meals, was overjoyed to be invited in to speak with the children and she said that she had never heard of any other Nursery doing such a lovely charitable act in this way. Stuart from The Courier caught professional snaps and these photos will hopefully be published in The Courier next week or the following week.

Thank you again to our thoughtful families – we are overjoyed! Remember – no Christmas gifts! #familyengagement #citizenship @marysmeals
Primary 4 loved creating wonderful posters to raise awareness of the effects of Road Safety. During their walk last week they took photos of the school and used them in their work! We think they are amazing! Well done Primary 4!
Fundraising events help us to demonstrate what it means to be a good citizen. We know we are raising money to help others and provide valuable resources for communities. Tomorrow we are supporting Children in Need and Breast Cancer Awareness.
We thank all our families for their very generous donations, there is a lovely range of home baking to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. We look forward to giving all our visitors a very warm Toronto welcome.
