P4 using Comic Life to make World Book Day posters
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.
Eco Award âťď¸
We would like to thank our wonderful Eco team, clean team, litter pickers and battery collectors along with Mrs Wong, Miss Galloway and Ms Muir who have helped us sustain our prestigious Green Flag award!
We celebrated this achievement at our school community assembly yesterday and we were very impressed to receive our 6th green flag! Well done everyone!!
Nursery Loose Parts
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
Wall bars, camera, ACTION!
I was lucky enough to be a fly on the wall with P4/3 as they demonstrated teamwork, collaboration, resilience and perseverance all rolled up in perfectly poised gymnastics moves! Thank you again Mr Stewart and Mr McLeish! The buzz around the hall today was infectious and the other classes are very much looking forward to their turn next week!

TPS Traditional Burns Supper
Primary 7, along with their teacher, Mr Graham, organised and led an outstanding Burns Supper! They invited special guests from Torontoâs past and present and took everyone through a traditional Burns Supper. Liam and Ross were fantastic compares whilst Harris said grace in the form of the Selkirk Grace before the haggis was piped in by Liam and Charlie addressed it perfectly in the style of Burns himself! Entertainment included all of the senior School poetry winners and Cameron, Kieran and Nathan led us through a super PowerPoint which highlighted some facts about the great Robert Burns as Christopher and Ryan played soft Scottish music in the background! We had an entourage of waiters and waitresses who served up Scotch Broth and Haggis, Neeps nâ Tatties (thank you so much Sharon and Michelle, part of our amazing kitchen dream team) all washed down by good old Irn Bru! Well done to everyone else who played their part in the event; from invitations to place settings and hall decorations to front of house volunteers who welcomed guests and took their coats!! It was a fabulous afternoon! We are so proud of you all P7!
