It was lovely to welcome all our children back to Toronto after the Festive break.
P4/5 have started off their new year by reflecting on all that 2024 offered and making resolutions for the year ahead. They have set their own goals for what they would like to achieve in 2025.
This week Primary 7 attended WL track and Field Championships at Craigswood Sports Centre. There were teams of boys and girls competing in long jump, shot put, 80m, 600m and 4x100m relay.
All pupils gave their best and enjoyed taking part and cheering each other on.
Well done to one of our P7’s who was awarded first place in shot put!
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 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!
This week we welcomed Destination Judo to Toronto, who spent 2 days with us providing all our classes with a taster session in Judo.
Everyone enjoyed their lesson with Sensei Euan. We had lots of fun and learned some new skills!
As part of Safer Internet Day our Digital Leaders delivered presentations to all our children at Toronto, from Nursery right through to P7.
They shared information and knowledge around the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people, with the the theme for this year of ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’. The team enjoyed delivering these presentations to the classes and also hosted quizzes for our older classes and read stories relating to this theme to our younger children.
As part of our Children in Need focus last week, P4/5 worked in teams to Escape the classroom through solving Children in Need Literacy clues to identify the code to unlock the room.
Well done to the winning team who managed to get out first!
This afternoon was our very first coding club.
We started our introduction to coding by learning how to code our beebots. We then used the kapla blocks to build a track/maze and coded our beebots to travel through it.
Our P7 Girls Cross Country Team travelled to Deans HS to take part in the WL Championships.
The day was very wet and muddy, but our team wouldn’t let the weather beat them!
Well done girls, we are very proud of you!
