A Fun-Filled Visit to the Local College! 🎨🌿

Leave a reply

Primary 2/3 had the exciting opportunity to visit West Lothian college last week, to take part in a fantastic play-based and outdoor learning experience.
The children had a brilliant time exploring the college’s playroom, getting creative with Halloween-themed crafts and artwork, and enjoying lots of fun outdoor activities. Their enthusiasm and imagination were on full display throughout the morning!
A big thank you to the college students who looked after our children so well. They provided a warm, supportive environment and gained valuable hands-on experience to support their own learning and development.
It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved — we’re already looking forward to the next visit!

This morning Primary 3 took part in a very wet outdoor learning session with Kids Gone Wild. We had fun exploring the woods, climbing trees and we bravely had a go at slacklining. We had the best time being wet, messy and outdoors!

Ursula Cheng came into school this week as part of a community art project. Ursula is collating ideas from local schools and community groups as she is planning to use these ideas to paint a local tunnel.
The children at Toronto helped Ursula to make paints from natural materials such as fruit and vegetables and used these to paint their own pictures.

P4/5’s Roman Feast

Leave a reply

Through our recent learning we have been finding out about the Romans.

We looked this week at Roman foods and were shocked at some of the items they would have on their feast menus – can you imagine eating peacock, tongue or dormice!

We created our own Roman Feast menus with a variety of foods we thought we might like to try.

Today we had our very own Roman feast with a variety of foods to try, some we were a bit apprehensive of but we all tried some new foods today and are very proud of ourselves!

On Thursday 10th October 2024, P4/5 recognised World Mental Health Day by taking their learning outdoors. Outdoor learning is thought to improve mood, reduce stress, encourage relaxation, improve physical activity and boost confidence and self esteem.

P4/5 took their literacy outdoors where they found interesting places to read their books and then use the natural materials to recreate some of the illustrations and photos from their reading books.
