Swimming Gala

Yesterday we entered a team of ten children in the Edinburgh Primary School Swimming Gala at the Royal Commonwealth pool. We all had a wonderful time and it was great to see the newly renovated Commonwealth pool . Our children all swam well and we made it into two finals taking 4th place in one and silver medal position in the other. As always our children were well behaved and supported each other well. Many thanks also to our loyal group of parent supporters. I was proud of them all!        Mrs Bailey

Outdoor PE Project

IMG_0662Tollcross Primary was awarded £3000 from Education Scotland to develop core skills in P.E.  Our project involves setting up stations along the canal basin to develop core  skills, using QR codes to provide instructions. A QR  reader will be used to download the instructions to complete the course and a certificate will be available to download once the course is complete. Yesterday P6/7 pupils were out at the canal to find out how it is being used.
 Pupils used a mind map to plan their ideas and are working with Ms Chadwick and Mr Devine to design and create a course to develop core PE skills. Follow our blog for further updates.
