Our pupils have created a self-portrait tea towel to raise money for our school. Pupils have drawn their own portrait and added it to a collage of all the pupils at Tollcross Primary. Please help by buying some tea towels, they make great Christmas presents. Orders will be taken at the Halloween Party and an order form has gone out in school bags today. Please click on the link below to download an order form and check prices.

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Macmillan Coffee Morning, your support helped us to raise £303.19 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Special thanks to all of our Primary 6 helpers who organised the event and the lovely cakes donated by pupils, staff and parents.

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.

What a lovely afternoon at Tollcross Primary, we watched a wonderful show based on the book Charlotte’s Web by American author E. B. White. Everyone really enjoyed it !
