Productive afternoons in Primary 3/4

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!

P6 Cross Country

Last week Toronto Primary hosted our cluster Cross country event for all P6 pupils.  The sun was shining and all Primary 6 were raring to go. Each pupil gave it their all and put a great amount of effort in to complete the route in great times, on such a warm, sunny day!

We are so proud of her achievement!  Well done Kayla!

Low Port Update

Well what a busy day that was!

We waved off our friends from group 1 whilst eating our lunch then went straight to orienteering! Everyone got to know the area of The Peel very well which will be great for tomorrow when we walk round the loch and down the canal. The nagvigation wasn’t easy but we all gave it a good go! Freya and Anais were the fastest over 2 courses and we were feeling very proud of them! 🌟

Back at the ranch we unpacked and headed down to the kitchen for lentil soup and a delicious steak pie dinner.  Everyone ate very very well! After that we headed down onto The Peel to play. A group of us played football whilst others guddled in the burn, played on the swings and did an array of gymnastics moves!

After exhausting ourselves we headed back to the centre for supper – you’ll not be surprised to know that the Nutella was the most popular choice!  We then headed off to bed and most of us cosied down and we’re fast fast asleep for 10pm.

Tomorrow half of us will be sailing whilst the other half will be off to trail the forest and streams at Beecraigs! Fun fun fun!

P4 Badminton Festival Fun

Today our wonderful primary 4 children, along with Miss Munro, Mrs Hardie and our lovely parent helpers Vivienne and Fiona headed down to Craigswood Sports Centre to participate in a badminton festival.  They were super excited and absolutely did our school proud whilst participating alongside children across our cluster. Well done boys and girls, we’re so proud of you and the infectious giggles as you bounced back into school proved that you had fun! Don’t believe us? Check out Miss Munro’s video 👌🏼

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!
