Aldi Kits For School

Leave a reply

We were excited to receive a delivery this morning from Aldi. As a result of our whole school community coming together to collect the sports stickers from Aldi last term, we were lucky enough to be rewarded with a kit for our school to supplement our PE and sports. P4 and P5 were very excited to share our reward with the rest of the school today, we can’t wait for the opportunity to make use of the equipment.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped us collect and enabled us to claim this super piece of kit.

WL Cross Country Championships 2019

Leave a reply

Last week one of our talented P7 girls took part in West Lothian’s Cross Country Championships 2019.

At the beginning of the year, our P6 children took part in our cluster Cross Country trials.  Our Toronto Primary representative finished in first place of all girls across the cluster. This win gave her entry into the WL Cross Country Championships.  She ran a super time and came well within the top 20 girls runners across the whole of West Lothian. Well done, we are very proud of you!

P6 Tennis Festival

A group of our P6 children took part in ICHS cluster Tennis Festival this week. Walking to Ladywell Tennis Courts proved to be a good warm up before their matches. The pupils then took part in doubles matches against pairs from our cluster primary schools. All children had fun taking part and Toronto were proud to make it to the semi finals! We may have a new Andy Murray or Serena Williams on our hands.

Bikeability is well under way this term and our P5’s and P6’s have been working hard to learn new skills and techniques.

These Primary 6’s below are working on Level 2 bikeability and have been using the streets around our school to help practise their newly learned bike skills. They are mastering safe starts and stops, right, left and U turns and negotiating parked cars.

Sports Day 2019

Leave a reply

On Friday 31st May, we held our annual Sports Day. Even though the weather wasn’t too kind, we still had lots of fun, laughs, teamwork and competition, as we held our sports day indoors.

In our big hall we took part in some potted sports, where we were shooting the football into the goal, testing out our aim on the target throw, completing the obstacle course and running the hurdles, to name a few. In the lunch hall we took part in some traditional sports day races – flat race, bean bag race, egg and spoon race. We had lots of proud winners showing off their certificates and stickers for placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in our races.

Along with our water to keep us hydrated during all this physical activity, we enjoyed some tasty fruit during our morning, which was very kindly donated by Aldi and Lidl, and then a tasty ice lolly treat afterwards.

Today our Pupil Leadership Team shared the total scores from the day for each House team. Our winning house was Mohawk, who enjoyed an extra break together this afternoon as their reward. Well done Team Mohawk!

Here are some photos and videos from the day taken by our photographer Peyton.

Productive afternoons in Primary 3/4

Leave a reply

Primary 3/4 have been working hard over the past week on their Interdisciplinary topic “The Titanic”. The pupils were set a challenge to “raise the Titanic from her watery grave” by reproducing the unsinkable ship in their classroom.  The children worked well together to decide upon how they would like to display the ship in their room. They then split into teams and took a part of the display each to work on. The finished product was completely the work of the children. They worked together to establish their ideas, list the resources they required, shared out the jobs and the work and then put all the elements together. Their Titanic display is quite impressive and definitely meets the criteria set in the challenge, by demonstrating their skills, teamwork and creativity.

After all that hard work, it was time to enjoy the sunshine! We took our PE outdoors and practiced some of our races and skills we will need for taking part in our Sports Day that is coming soon. We loved racing each other and had lots of laughs when balancing the bean bags on our heads!
