Celebrating All Things Sports at Toronto!

Mrs Black organised a special ‘Sports Assembly’ last week where we came together as a whole school to celebrate our sporting successes and achievements over the last year. Awards were presented to individuals and we celebrated the sporting successes shared through wider achievements outside school as well as in school. We presented certificates of thanks to a number of our partners who have made it possible to offer some of the sports activities we have done this year!

We also said a sad farewell to our Active Schools Coordinator Mrs Livingston, who is moving on to work with a new cluster of primary schools in West Lothian.

Social Enterprise Academy Awards 2024

On Tuesday this week a group of Primary 5 and Primary 7 children made their way to the Assembly rooms in Edinburgh to attend the Social Enterprise Academy’s Award ceremony, where they collected an award for their work they have done with the Toronto Boutique so far and their plans to develop it further to include a food pantry.

The Assembly rooms were so beautiful, we were in awe of the grandeur. We also got to listen to the Deputy First Minister, Kate Forbes speaking about how we are contributing to changing the future.

P7 Track and Field Championships

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!

Watch Them Grow!

Primary 1 are learning about what plants need to grow.
Last week each of the Primary 1 children planted peas.  They needed a pot, soil and seeds.  Once they had panted the seeds they then watered them.
We are going to look after our seeds and hopefully we will see shoots appearing very soon.
In class we wrote instructions to tell others how to plant a seed.

New P1 Buddies

Our P6 pupils at Toronto have recently been preparing for one of their important and responsible roles for P7 in August.

P6’s submitted application forms, undertook an interview and completed training sessions to prepare them for being a Buddy to our new P1’s in August. P6 are now well equipped for this responsible role and are looking forward to meeting their buddies very soon!

A Busy Week in P7A

This week we worked with our P1 buddies, we had great fun playing in the field.  We had pots and pans and water and we made potions and grass soup.  We played Duck, duck, goose, played with bubbles and had a blether.

In rugby we were learning how to pass the and how to score a try, we had to race against each other.

In Bikeability some of us were learning how to cross the road, do a U-turn and safe start and stop.

When the Bikeability groups were out the rest of P7A learned about the artist Piet Mondrian and we created our own compositions.  Piet Mondrian was a famous artist who developed a style of his own, called neoplasticism. His work became minimalistic. He painted using simple lines, right angles and blocks of primary colours. Mondrian wanted to express a harmony and purity in his work.
