P4 Badminton Festival Fun

Today our wonderful primary 4 children, along with Miss Munro, Mrs Hardie and our lovely parent helpers Vivienne and Fiona headed down to Craigswood Sports Centre to participate in a badminton festival.  They were super excited and absolutely did our school proud whilst participating alongside children across our cluster. Well done boys and girls, we’re so proud of you and the infectious giggles as you bounced back into school proved that you had fun! Don’t believe us? Check out Miss Munro’s video 👌🏼

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!

Gymnastics in Action at TPS

We are absolutely loving working with PE specialist Mr Stewart and our brand new PE teacher, Mr McLeish. Half of our school will be participating today and half again next week. Our new PE teacher, Mr McLeish will be joining us fully later in February.  We are very excited to have you on board! #PE #fitness #healthandwellbeing #gymnastics

TPS Traditional Burns Supper

Primary 7, along with their teacher, Mr Graham, organised and led an outstanding Burns Supper! They invited special guests from Toronto’s 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 n’ 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!

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!
