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!
Primary 4 and Primary 4/5 have been enjoying music sessions with Eamonn from Infectious Grooves. After weeks of learning new skills in drumming and rhythm, each class confidently shared their learning in a showcase performance for the rest of the school.
We are delighted that our clubs are up and running again at Toronto. This week saw our first club, Level 1 Bikeability, up and running.
Next week we have P4-7 Tennis on Monday, P4-7 Choir on Wednesday and P1-3 Football on Thursday. We are hoping to add more to our list soon!
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.
You may remember a few months ago that we launched an app design competition for our P1-7 children through the Make It Happen Club, a charity whose aim is to inspire children’s digital learning!
This week Frances from Make It Happen returned to Toronto for a special Assembly to announce the winning design.
Frances and the engineers had such a difficult time choosing a winner as all the entries were of such a high standard.
Some children were awarded certificates for inspiring ideas for their apps. Frances then announced our two runners up and our overall winner, who were all absolutely delighted with their prizes.
The Make it Happen engineers built a first version of the winning app before the assembly so that we could all see and download it straight away. After the assembly our winner worked with Frances to refine their app.
Well done to all our children who entered and those who received an award for their efforts.
A huge thank you to Frances and the Make It Happen Club for allowing us to be part of this fantastic opportunity!

Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been having fun with Mrs Graham, Mrs Stewart and Mrs Black, with the parachute!
We loved trying to keep the ball on the parachute, then we changed our game and were actually aiming to get the ball through the hole in the middle. We enjoyed sitting inside the parachute as we turned it into a mushroom, Mrs Black thought we had all disappeared! Our favourite game though was cat and mouse! Even one of the Primary 7’s joined in with us!
This week Primary 7 attended WL track and Field Championships at Craigswood Sports Centre. There were teams of boys and girls competing in long jump, shot put, 80m, 600m and 4x100m relay.
All pupils gave their best and enjoyed taking part and cheering each other on.
Well done to one of our P7’s who was awarded first place in shot put!
