Toronto Burns Assembly 2018
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!
STEM Construction Challenge
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 🙂
We have some TPS elves on the loose!
Miss Munro and Miss Butler were shocked to find some magical elves in their classrooms on Friday! They brought team building gifts and letters all the way from the North Pole! We are all very excited to see what they get up to in our classes over the next few weeks! 🎅🏼
Growing Cress with Ms Elder
After reading all about cress seeds, some of Ms Elder’s 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!
Toronto Netball Team
Last week some children from our new Netball team played in their very first Netball Festival. They showcased their new skills beautifully whilst displaying excellent team work and sportsmanship by celebrating everyone’s success! They were placed 4th overall – WELL DONE! Keep going team Toronto – we’re so proud of you!
The children are loving netball so much that they are practising in our new hall twice a week at lunchtimes with the help and support of Ms Muir and Mr Graham who are very proud of their dedication!
Science in P5
P5 have been learning about the Human Body. We have learned about the functions of the skeleton, the organs and the main systems in our body. Here we are working together to create a model of the Digestive system to show how food passes through the body. Great Fun !
Well done P5.
Primary 4 learning about the importance of Road Safety
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!
