It was a pleasure to share our learning with the Headteachers from Hermitage Park Primary and Clermiston Primary and the Principal Teacher from Echline Primary School today. Our pupils were able to share, explain and talk about their learning in numeracy. We received lots of positive comments and feedback and will use this to inform our learning journey in numeracy at Tollcross Primary. It was a pleasure to work  and collaborate with colleagues across our city. A big thank you to the staff and pupils  who welcomed our visitors and shared classroom practice and learning.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who came along  to the launch of our whole school Big Brain Stretch Challenge today. This is  part of our Number of the Day approach and aims to raise attainment in  numeracy at Tollcross Primary. Hope everyone is ready for the Big Brain Stretch Callenge home learning activity. Thank you to Miss Chadwick for leading this initiative in our school 🙂

Thank you to the wonderful Steve at Drumfun, another great day of loud learning fun at Tollcross Primary.

Looking forward to seeing everyone back at Tollcross Primary tomorrow 🙂

Wishing all our Tollcross pupils, families and friends a lovely February mid-term break. Have a good rest and get outdoors for some fresh air. See you all back at school on  Monday 19th February. Take care, have fun and stay safe  🙂

We are very excited about Book Week here at Tollcross Primary. Mrs Dripps has organised some great activities to help us share and enjoy reading.

Here are some of the activities planned …

✨Celebrating wider achievement at Tollcross Primary 🙂

Please join us for a Numeracy Information Event for parents and carers on Wednesday 21st February from 3.30 to 4.30 pm in the school Gym Hall. This is an opportunity to find out more about Mathematics and Numeracy teaching approaches at Tollcross Primary and our plan for a whole school Big Brain Stretch Challenge 🧠. There will be a crèche available for pupils in P1 and P2 and playground supervision for pupils in P3 to P7 to enable parents and carers to attend this event. We hope you can join us.

What a wonderful Growth Mindset Assembly this morning. Miss Anderson used her very impressive science skills to help us to think about the way we learn. Please remember to take part in our whole school Growth Mindset competition by designing a poster to illustrate the Learning Pit.

All entries need to be handed in to your class teacher by 8/2/18. 🧠
