Today at our whole school assembly we enjoyed celebrating the achievements of many of our children from across our school when they were recognised for effort, manners and for helping others.
We were treated to a glimpse of our Glee Club performance which was outstanding! Thank you to Mrs Steel, Ms Muir, Mr Platt and Noriko our dance teacher, for helping us get ready for next weekâs big performance! Make sure you remember your props for rehearsals this week everyone.
Mr Graham reminded us all of the basics of Building Learning Power with a little help from some volunteers who showed perseverance, collaboration and lots of effort! Weâre looking forward to working more on mini BLP sessions over the next few weeks.
Primary 4 children shared their World Book Day challenge with everyone. They have been busy creating posters asking if everyone could bring a book in to swap and keep on Thursday. Please note, there is not a necessity for children to dress up on Thursday for World Book Day – weâd just love you to bring in a preloved book for swapping đđđđ

Positive Vibes
This week we came together as a whole school community for our weekly assembly to discuss the importance of spreading positive vibes through the medium of cheery bananas! Â Each class received a special positive message written on a banana and their challenge this week is to fulfill some of these positivity challenges, for example, brighten someoneâs day with a smile, believe in yourself and youâre halfway there and ofcourse the favourite – put on your positive pants! đ
TPS Traditional Burns Supper
Primary 7, along with their teacher, Mr Graham, organised and led an outstanding Burns Supper! They invited special guests from Torontoâs past and present and took everyone through a traditional Burns Supper. Liam and Ross were fantastic compares whilst Harris said grace in the form of the Selkirk Grace before the haggis was piped in by Liam and Charlie addressed it perfectly in the style of Burns himself! Entertainment included all of the senior School poetry winners and Cameron, Kieran and Nathan led us through a super PowerPoint which highlighted some facts about the great Robert Burns as Christopher and Ryan played soft Scottish music in the background! We had an entourage of waiters and waitresses who served up Scotch Broth and Haggis, Neeps nâ Tatties (thank you so much Sharon and Michelle, part of our amazing kitchen dream team) all washed down by good old Irn Bru! Well done to everyone else who played their part in the event; from invitations to place settings and hall decorations to front of house volunteers who welcomed guests and took their coats!! It was a fabulous afternoon! We are so proud of you all P7!
