At Toronto PS we are honoured to have our very own little Bagpipe superstar!! Liam began learning his craft on the chanter 3 years ago and has now been playing the bagpipes for around 2 years! We are extremely proud of you Liam, you have an incredible future ahead of you and every single child and adult at TPS couldn’t stop smiling at how far you’ve come! You blew us all away! 🎵
Ryan and Lewis made the perfect double act as they performed their rendition of ‘A Dug, A Dug’ by Bill Keys.
Katy perfected her ‘Sair Finger’ poem by Walter Wingate. Well done Katy – we are so proud of you!
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!
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 🙂
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!
Looking forward to hearing about all of your favourite stories tomorrow Nursery boys and girls! We have started filling up our bookshelf with some of your lovely home learning stories that you have shared with us already! Looking amazing! We can’t wait to fill it up!! Keep them coming 📚
P5 have been learning about the Human Body. We have learned about the functions of the skeleton, the organs and the main systems in our body. Here we are working together to create a model of the Digestive system to show how food passes through the body. Great Fun !
Well done P5.
Thank you Primary 7-6 for embracing my challenging questions this morning during our anti-bullying debates with maturity, respect and confidence. You showed me that you could collaborate and work together towards a common goal. Your messages of wisdom were not only creative but they were inspirational! #antibullyingweek2017 #antibullyingwristbands
Sophie – ‘Never let anyone dull your sparkle’
Josh – ‘Niceness is Priceless’
Louise – ‘You are stronger than you think you are’
Ryan – ‘Be yourself, love who you are’
Jay – ‘Be a buddy, not a bully’
Lewis – ‘All different, all equal’
