A Positive Message from P4
Good Morning
Hope everyone is well and getting outside for some fresh air. All of our staff were involved in reviewing our School Improvement Plan yesterday as part of our Inservice Day. We worked together in groups to review progress and identify next steps in our school learning journey.
Mrs Ewen and Ms Brand are planning a whole school assembly where everyone can join in at home. We will be in touch with a date soon. We are planning to add a few of our favourite songs and a Tollcross Quiz.
Our Parent Council has organised an online meeting at 8.15pm on Thursday 7th May. Please see the email sent out yesterday or the Parent Council Facebook page for details on how to join the meeting, everyone is welcome. Hope to see you there, take care and look after each other 😊
Tollcross Primary Uniform day – fun day! 🙂
Hi everyone,

Have a Fantastic weekend 🙂
Building Resilience.
Today we will be starting our new Building Resilience topic: Challenge your mindset. We have already done a lot of learning on Growth Mindset strategies so this is revision for us!
We are going to start off by looking at the PowerPoint slides. We will have some singing, dancing and a Tollcross challenge. Lets see what Skipper is teaching us this term:
That was a lot of information I think now is a great time for a song about your brain, this is one of my favourite songs about the brain!

We are going to create our own brains. You can draw a brain, build a brain, mould a brain, paint a brain…. You can use play-dough, modelling clay, string, cardboard, recycling, plastic, tinfoil, digital.…anything really, be as creative as you like.
Your brain could be small, it could be huge it could be medium size. it could be a model, a puzzle, a hat or a piece of art. The choice is yours. You can research some ideas online or get inspiration from the pictures below. Your brain can be any colour that your like!
This task will be fun, but it may not be easy. Lets watch the video below to get Growth Mindset tips from Dojo!

Now we have a quiz. write down the numbers 1 – 9 . Look at the pictures of the brains and the list of animals and decide which brain belongs to which animal? Answers will be posted tomorrow. Good Luck.
Skipper has 2 more tasks for you complete ( remember you have a week to complete the Building Resilience tasks) complete the tasks at a time that suits you. Send all your pictures to admin@tollcross.edin.sch.uk or tweet @tollcrossP
lets finish our Assembly with a dance, I am looking forward to seeing all your great work.
Have a great day.

Good Morning
Good morning Tollcross families, I hope everyone is safe and well. Thank you to everyone who completed the IT survey we sent out last week. This has helped us to target support for our families. We will be in contact over the next few days to arrange a time to deliver iPads to families who need a device. This will support our learners to continue to access learning from home. 🌈

Good morning,
Good morning, I hope everyone managed to do something to make them happy over the weekend. Ms Anderson has been supporting health and wellbeing across our school community while we are learning and working from home. We all need to think about how we look after our mental health by keeping connected, being kind to ourselves, trying something new and doing things that make us happy.
