What a wonderful book character parade we had this morning at Tollcross Primary School. Everyone enjoyed our Big Read and book sharing. We love reading !

On Thursday we welcome back the book fair. We will be having our postponed character parade at 9.15am in the playground which you are welcome to join us for. After this we will go into the hall for a whole school booknic where everyone can bring their favourite book to read. Pupils are invited to dress up on Thursday as a favourite character and have been making character crowns in class this week that they can wear. 📚 The book fair will be open for half an hour after school on Thursday, Friday and Tuesday. Pupils will also have a chance to visit with their class next week!

Our super stars this week enjoyed an ice lolly to celebrate their success! 🌟

Well done! 🏆

P6 had a lovely time at JGHS today. They completed six language taster sessions.

They were enthusiastic and fantastic representatives of Tollcross.

Great effort and well done! 🌍

A big thank you to our staff, families and pupils who took part in our Core Values Survey.

It was really interesting to look at the core values identified. We have collated all of the information and displayed the findings below.

I am delighted to see kindness identified as a core value, it is something we see every  day at Tollcross Primary.

Great to see so many parents joining us for National Numeracy Day this morning. Lots of challenges, games, puzzles and problem solving. Everyone had a great time and lots of fun with numbers.

Please come along to the Primary 7 Coffee Morning on Friday 18th May from 9.15am to 12 noon. The theme of our Coffee Morning is Health and Wellbeing. We hope you can join us. The Health and Wellbeing Committee and the Growth Mindset Committee have worked together with Primary 7 to organise this event.

This morning Emily MacKenzie visited P1, P1/2 and P2. We had a wonderful time listening to her stories and learning how to draw her characters. We learned about her inspiration behind some of the characters and the journey she went on to become an author and illustrator. We definitely have some budding illustrators in the making here at Tollcross! We will be ordering several copies of her books over the next few weeks for pupils to borrow and share with you at home, we hope you enjoy the stories as much as we do! Thanks to the First Minister’s Reading Challenge- Inspiring Classrooms project for the funding to allow this to happen.

This is our plan for this Wednesday for National Numeracy Day. All parents are very welcome to pop in from 9 – 9:30 to see Number of the Day and our Big Brain Stretch Challenges. 🧠💪
