Toronto Burns Assembly 2018

At Toronto PS our children always impress us and make us proud…today was a goosebump kind of day, as together, we celebrated the life and times of the great Robert Burns.

Liam from P5 kicked the whole thing off by piping each class into Assembly where our House and Vice Captains presented poetry winners from across the school with wonderful certificates.

We managed to catch a few on video…we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did!  Follow the next few posts for all of the fun!

STEM Construction Challenge

Children in our P1-3 department have been thoroughly enjoying taking part in a range of construction based challenges this week! These challenges have been collaborative, motivating and above all FUN! We have had to learn how to co-operate in mini teams, problem solve, persevere and express our own ideas using a wide range of practical materials! Here are a few snapshots of Primary 3/2 in action…with a couple of sneaky P7s who wanted in on the building site action!  Oh and Ms Elder who was instructed by the Site Manager to wear her hard hat and high viz waistcoat before she could pass through 🙂

Growing Cress with Ms Elder

After reading all about cress seeds, some of Ms Elder’s superstars decided to grow their very own cress in pots. They loved observing the daily changes and kept a visual photographic diary for all of us to see each day when we passed by the classroom. We hope you enjoyed tasting them at home on your sandwiches! Well done everyone!
