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!
P5/6 loved their outdoor learning session with Rob from Kids Gone Wild.
We enjoyed being in the woods, climbing trees, building dens, playing hide and seek, zip lines and using our imagination to create our own fun and games.
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.
This morning was the final round of the ICHS Cluster football League and Team Toronto were up for the challenge. After coming into the league late Team Toronto are proud of their achievements and were delighted with their medals.
This week P5 had their first rugby session with Sam from Livingston Rugby Club. We had lots of fun learning new skills and got very competitive in some of the team challenges.
Primary 4’s visited Inveralmond Community High School for the cluster sports festival. We participated in four types of sports (football, basketball, dancing and hockey). We played with children from different schools in Livingston. There was also a cool down area where we got to rest and have our snack. We even got to see our old P3 teacher Mrs Kinross! We enjoyed it because it was really fun but we got soaked on the walk back to school. We enjoyed having the opportunity to visit Inveralmond as it might be our future High School!
It was P2’s turn this week to visit West Lothian College for some fun and games.
The children enjoyed the excitement of the bus journey and then had great fun playing the games with the WL College Students. The favourites this week were Duck, Duck Goose, Ladders, Toilet tig and Chaos tig.
This week P1 visited WL College to take part in some Active Schools activities.
The children really enjoyed practising their ball skills and playing fun games. Some of their favourites were Duck, Duck, Goose, Domes and Dishes and Sleeping Pirates.
This morning our P7 Football team took part in their first competitive matches at the Inveralmond Cluster Football Festival.
Team Toronto have been training hard and their coach Miss Telford was delighted with their performance at their first event. The teamwork, determination, skill and stamina were exemplary! The team were proud of their efforts today too, especially when the managed some great results in some difficult games.
The outlook for Team Toronto is positive and they can’t wait until their next game!
