Playground Fun

Leave a reply

We are continuing to develop our playground areas to make them fun places to be during break times. Our PSW staff are leading games and activities with our children and we are continuing to see the positive impact it is making. The pupils are engaged, helping each other, using their imaginations and becoming more independent in leading these activities themselves.

Our playgrounds are such positive places to be!

Leave a reply

Primary 5 took an exciting trip to The Sky Academy Studios.

Each of us were given an important role (Director, Producer, Scriptwriter, Reporter, Eyewitness, Camera Operator, Editor) within our studio groups. We all worked very hard as a team, to create a fantastic news report about Fake News and how to prevent it.

It was a great opportunity to work with experts and high-tech equipment. What great fun we had!

P5’s Internet Safety – Social Media

Leave a reply

For Internet Safety day, Primary 5 learned the age restrictions for different social media platforms. Firstly, we named different social media platforms and guessed the age restrictions for each. Then, we revealed the true age restrictions. A lot of us were surprised by these age limits. We discussed why we think social media companies set age restrictions and came up with a lot of good reasons and thoughts.

Persuasive Writing

Leave a reply

We have been learning about persuasive techniques in our writing in P4. Sometimes when we believe in something, we want others to believe in it also and so we might try to get them to change their minds. The word for trying to convince someone to change their mind about something is persuade.

We played some games and activities to practise our powers of persuasion.

Celebrating Languages

Leave a reply

Primary 4 are continuing to celebrate Scotland Loves Languages week by researching the range of languages spoken in our school community.

We created a survey, which we carried out in each class, to find out the variety of mother tongues and additional learned languages spoken in our school, and how they were learned.

At the last count today we have 20 languages spoken in our Toronto Family. The additional languages learned have been through a variety of approaches, eg. from parents/carers, other family members, friends, at school, self study, work, online, TV.

We also asked the children and staff which languages they would like to learn at Toronto and were delighted with the wide variety of interest from our peers, some ideas were: French, Mandarin, Polish, Italian, BSL, Gaelic.

We look forward to using this data to help plan experiences and activities to encourage other’s to love learning languages as much as we do.
