P4, P4/5 and P5 let their hair down for their Christmas party this week. They enjoyed some Scottish dancing, party games, snacks and some Christmas music and dancing.
We all had a ball, and are totally in the Christmas spirit now!
Toronto’s Language Ambassadors set the whole school a Christmas challenge over the month of December. Their challenge was for every pupil to design a Christmas bauble that shared some traditions or language from another country. The designs we received were fabulous. it was so hard to choose winner. The baubles depicted traditions and languages from all over the world and was a super representation of the cultures and languages spoken in our school – Bulgarian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Polish to name just a few.
The Language Ambassadors announced 1 winner from each class this morning at assembly, the winning designs were hung on our school Christmas tree.
The Digital Leaders set the whole school their annual Christmas challenge to create a digital design to transform into our Toronto digital E-card. It was such a difficult job to choose 1 winner from all the amazing entries. We had creations on Word, Powerpoint, Adobe Express and Canva.
We are delighted to share our winning card with you!

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!
We have been really loving the playground in the cold weather over the last week. It has allowed for lots of different play opportunities during our breaktimes. Our pupils and staff have been creative with their play and had lots of fun. We made sure we were wrapped up for the weather though!
P6/7 and P7 kicked off the week with the first of the Christmas parties! We had fun playing some Christmas games, winning prizes, some yummy snacks and a Christmas film. It was great to get our dancing shoes on and get into the Christmas spirit!
Merry Christmas from P6/7 and P7!
We are continuing to develop our playground areas to make them fun places to be during break times. Our PSW staff are leading games and activities with our children and we are continuing to see the positive impact it is making. The pupils are engaged, helping each other, using their imaginations and becoming more independent in leading these activities themselves.
Our playgrounds are such positive places to be!
We had an awesome morning today, as our whole school enjoyed a visit to Howden Park Centre to see their fabulous panto Mother Goose. We all had a great time sharing in some festive fun, laughter and singing, even Mr Murray ended up as part of the cast!
