Two Primary 5 pupils have been keen to share their knowledge of what they have been learning in class and during their own time. Here they are signing and singing the alphabet!

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.
Poetry in P3
Primary 3 have been learning about poetry. We have been exploring how adjectives can help the reader imagine things in more detail.
We collected leaves from outside and thought of different adjectives to describe them. We then put these adjectives into a poem.
Targets Achieved in P1/2
Primary 1/2 have been learning the ‘ph’ sound. As part of our learning we used the i-pad to take a photograph of something around the area. We printed the photos off and wrote a sentence starting ‘my photo is of….’
Look at the writing targets we have achieved!
Read a Book Day
Another way we celebrated Read a Book Day at Toronto was for Primary 1 and 7 to spend time reading with their buddies. The Primary 7s did a great job at helping their P1 buddies choose a book to read together and take home. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!
Read a Book Day
To celebrate Read a Book Day, Toronto Primary took part in a Teacher Reader Swap. Each teacher took their favourite short story to read to another class. It was a great way to celebrate reading and everyone enjoyed listening to a lovely story from a different teacher!
Book Week Open Morning
P4/5 loved having their families in to share in their Literacy learning. We worked on reciprocal reading skills and were able to teach our adults these skills. It was so lovely to share some ERIC time with them too.
P4’s Water Cycle Text Map
P4 have been creating a text map of the water cycle as part of their explanation writing.
Outdoor Learning With P2
Primary 2 are really enjoying their outdoor learning again, now that the weather is getting better. They have been sharing books and stories, setting up the hammock independently and collecting rubbish from our site.
Busy, Busy, Busy in P6/7!
P6/7 have been busy!
We have been rehearsing for our performance of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
In maths, we have been interpreting data from bar, line and pie charts.
We have been focussing on discussion writing and thinking of arguments for and against as well as our own opinion.
We planted our potatoes this week and will be watching them grow and adding more compost as soon as we see the green leaves appear. We are hoping to grow lots.
P6 took part in the Inveralmond cluster cross country and one of our girls won 1st place. We are so proud of her. Our girls team also came top in the competition, They will go on to represent us in the next stage of the competition in September. Fantastic!
