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!

Primary 7b, used problem solving, communication and resilience to carry out our ‘Cup Challenge’. In our groups we completed 4 cup stacking challenges, where we had to build the shown cup arrangement only using an elastic band and string.

Santa’s Den

P6/7 and P7 had a visit from Santa this week. Pupils worked together in groups to design and create a new mode of transport for Santa. Each group then had to pitch their design to Santa, explaining how their mode of transport was environmentally friendly , cost effective, how it moved, etc.

Santa was very impressed with our designs! Well done to Santa’s winning team!

Playground Fun

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!

Children in Need Danceathon 2022

This year to raise money for Children in Need, we held a “Come as you Please” day and held a P1-7 Danceathon. Pupils and staff came to school wearing whatever they chose – some chose to wear their own clothes, some chose to wear their Pudsey t-shirts and accessories.

We threw some pretty awesome shapes at our Danceathon – the Macarena was definitely a favourite!

We raised a fantastic £149.33 for Children in Need!

Coding Club

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.
