P6 have been working with Kate MacKay from Alchemy Arts to produce banners for a Medieval weekend in the Grassmarket. The Festival marks 500 years of the Flodden wall and fits in with our Social Studies topic – “Old Edinburgh”. All P6 pupils, friends and families at Tollcross are welcome to come along to the event and join in the fun.
Well done to all of the pupils who were selected as class Pupil of the Week this week. It is great to see so many pupils being recognised for working hard, being kind and taking responsibility.
There will be a Parent Council Meeting on Monday 30th September 2013 at 6.15pm in the school to discuss arrangements and volunteers for this year’s Halloween Party.
We look forward to seeing as many people as possible at the meeting as this is a big event to organise and we need quite a few volunteers to help on the night. Its always been one of the highlights for children so we really want to continue with the party.

Can you help with Golden Time activities ?
This term we hope to offer pupils a wider range of activities for Golden Time and we are looking for parents to come in and help. Golden Time is on a Friday morning from 11.45 to 12.30, pupils look forward to Golden Time and it is a great opportunity for pupils to spend time with friends enjoying an activity they have chosen. Activities include – gardening, games, knitting, art and craft. Please leave a comment below if you able to help or contact the school office.

Tollcross pupils have been thinking about how to stay safe online. Aria and Nukso created this poster to help pupils think about information they provide online. We hope this poster will be useful for everyone !
Please look in school bags on Monday for your child’s EE2 Form. Forms should be completed and returned to school as soon as possible.
