Belmont Fun

Leave a reply

Yesterday and today has been all about making new friends and learning new challenges at camp!  Everyone slept really well last night.  Miss Lawton was pampering the girls by braiding their hair whilst over in the boys dorm Miss Watson was enjoying listening to Harry Potter and the Philospher’s Stone but the boys zonked before the end of chapter 2!  Fresh air works wonders!  A tasty full breakfast for everyone this morning and another full day ahead today followed by disco fun tonight!  I think these smiles are even bigger than the ones from yesterday 🙂

Last week Toronto Primary hosted our cluster Cross country event for all P6 pupils.  The sun was shining and all Primary 6 were raring to go. Each pupil gave it their all and put a great amount of effort in to complete the route in great times, on such a warm, sunny day!

We are so proud of her achievement!  Well done Kayla!

Toronto Primary really got into the spirit on Friday, as we celebrated all things Scottish in honour of Robert Burns.

Each class worked together to produce a variety of guid Scottish displays in oor hall – from tartan kilts, to Charles Rennie Mackintosh designs.

To complete our Burns Day celebrations we held a Poetry competition, where representatives from each class recited some fabulous Scottish poems at a special assembly. Remembering and pronouncing all those Scots words was tricky but what talented bairns  we hae at Toronto!

Whit a rare day we had!

Sky Academy

Primary 5 attended a Skills Academy at Sky this morning.  Following on from our Interdisciplinary Learning theme before Christmas, we have been researching ocean pollution and it’s effect on the the world and it’s inhabitants. We used this knowledge toady to put together a news report of our findings. At the Sky Skills Academy we each had a job role and were responsible for an area of the report. We learned about writing scripts, using the teleprompter, using cameras, camera angles, editing and trimming and presenting and interviewing, ensuring our facts were triple checked.

Our Directors and Producers had a tough job keeping us on the right path and working to a deadline, but we made it. We are really proud of the report we were able to put together through using and developing our skills and working together as a brilliant team!
