P6/7 were out at the Canal Basin this morning to test the outdoor PE route they have designed. Some changes needed to be made and they hope to have the route ready soon. Kevin Brown, one of the lead officers in PE for the city, will be visiting Tollcross on Tuesday (16/4/13) to talk to P6/7 and to have a look at the PE route they have designed. This is a very exciting project which will benefit our school and local community.
We have organised some exciting activities to make Tollcross pupils more waste aware. This week we have a whole school competition to design a label for our new outdoor bins. The winning design will go on all the new outdoor bins in the playground. All classes will be involved in an eco activity on Friday morning (12/4/13) and everyone should try to wear something green. Change Works will be coming along to our school assembly next Thursday (18/4/13) to talk to pupils about Waste Awareness, following the assembly P5/6 and P6/7 will participate in a Waste Audit Workshop. We are working hard to make Tollcross Primary greener.

Tickets for our Spring Disco go on sale today ! Tickets cost £2 and can be purchased from the school office. Tickets will be available on the door but everyone is encouraged to ‘pre-buy’ their ticket to save time on the night.
We would like to introduce our new janitor James Newman. James worked as a janitor in Australia for six months and most recently worked at St Mary’s Primary in East London Street. He is looking forward to getting to know everyone and has found Tollcross to be a very friendly and welcoming school. James likes the outdoors and enjoys hill walking and kayaking. Please say hello to James when you see him around our school. A big Tollcross welcome from all the staff, parents and pupils.
