The Fair Trade Committee will be running a pop-up shop on Thursday where there will be a selection of fair trade products available to buy. All classes will have an opportunity to visit during the school day. 

Tollcross are looking and sounding brilliant ready for tonight’s big performance!

Can’t wait! 🌟🎶

Addition and subtraction will be our Numeracy topic for the next 4 weeks, continuing after the Easter break.

What will we be learning?

– focusing on mental strategies for addition and subtraction.

-number bonds to 10, 20, 100, 1000

-using empty number lines eg.

Missing addend sums 34 + __ = 50

Missing subtrahend sums 32 – __ = 11

Activities you could do at home:

Adding and subtracting money or prices when visiting the shop

First to 100 – use a dice and each side can be a one or a ten ( 6 or 60) take turns first to 100 wins. Can be played first to 0 using subtraction and starting at 100.

Telling the time – what time it is now? What time will it be in 40 minutes? What time was it 10 minutes ago?

NON UNIFORM DAY

The Eco-Committee have planned a non-uniform day next Friday on the 5th April (last day of term before Easter holidays) children can wear their normal clothes to school and we ask if possible can they bring in a £1 donation.

Donations will go towards a local charity called Edinburgh Global Partnership (EGP) who are raising money to go to Malawi to construct sustainable developments such as solar powered fish dryers and storage units. All money raised goes directly towards the project.

Thank you in advance

Thank you to the Glee Club for treating us to a dress rehearsal today. Good luck for Tuesday when you compete in the Edinburgh heat of the Glee Competition. 🤞🏻

What a wonderful assembly from P2/3 this morning. We loved your singing, dancing and enjoyed all the interesting facts about the ancient Egyptians.

My P7 assembly helpers, Finlay and Rio are back from camp this week.

Thank you for all your help boys, it is very much appreciated.

Ms Brand 😊

Myles and Rio organised a whole school drawing competition. The winners were Giorgio, Kyr, Adam and Sulaiman.

After a brilliant week it’s time to come home!

We are looking forward to sharing our photos and experiences with the school next week 😀
