Rotary Club Champions

Our incredible Rotary Club took part in a cluster quiz at Peel Primary School today. Mrs Gurney accompanied the group and she was extremely impressed with their general knowledge, teamwork and overall sportsmanship! A huge well done to the boys and they brought home the bronze plaque to-boot! We are so proud!! What an achievement! Watch out Mastermind…Joshua, Ross, Brennus and Harris are coming to get you! 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Eco Award ♻️

We would like to thank our wonderful Eco team, clean team, litter pickers and battery collectors along with Mrs Wong, Miss Galloway and Ms Muir who have helped us sustain our prestigious Green Flag award!

We celebrated this achievement at our school community assembly yesterday and we were very impressed to receive our 6th green flag! Well done everyone!!

Nursery Loose Parts

As some of you may know from following us on Twitter, on Friday we were lucky enough to have been awarded ‘Very Goods’ by the Care Inspectorate who dropped in on us last week for a formal visit.  The role play in our brick area has substantially evolved and after the introduction of reels, bamboo, tyres and material the results were golden! We stood beside the inspector in awe of our talented children and she was blown away. We knew as practitioners to stand back, observe and allow our amazingly creative children to do what they do best…play! Here’s a teeny snippet of a very real day at Toronto! Enjoy 😊

Wall bars, camera, ACTION!

I was lucky enough to be a fly on the wall with P4/3 as they demonstrated teamwork, collaboration, resilience and perseverance all rolled up in perfectly poised gymnastics moves! Thank you again Mr Stewart and Mr McLeish! The buzz around the hall today was infectious and the other classes are very much looking forward to their turn next week!

Liam our Primary 5 piper!

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! 🎵

 

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 🙂

Toronto Netball Team

Last week some children from our new Netball team played in their very first Netball Festival.   They showcased their new skills beautifully whilst displaying excellent team work and sportsmanship by celebrating everyone’s success!  They were placed 4th overall – WELL DONE!  Keep going team Toronto – we’re so proud of you!

The children are loving netball so much that they are practising in our new hall twice a week at lunchtimes with the help and support of Ms Muir and Mr Graham who are very proud of their dedication!
