Today was a special Pupil of the Week celebration, we had cake to wish a lovely pupil in P1 and Ms Brand a very Happy Birthday 🎂

Congratulations to this group of lovely P7 pupils. They were each awarded silver in the Edinburgh Maths Challenge and will be invited to a formal award ceremony in June.

We are so proud of you. 🏆

We kicked off the new topic today at our Numeracy Assembly – Combining and Partitioning Numbers.

This is all about splitting numbers up and building numbers in different ways. We will be doing a lot of work on Place Value with this, focusing on Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Ones ( previously known as units) and more!

Here are some useful websites for you to explore at home:

It was a pleasure to welcome the head teachers from Clermiston, Echline and Hermitage Park to Tollcross Primary this morning. Thank you to all of the classes who shared their learning and made our visitors feel welcome.

This lovely boy won a bronze medal at the Scottish Levels League Diving Competition at the weekend. Thank you for sharing your success with us, we are so proud of you.

Two Tollcross brothers have been awarded their yellow belt green tag for Taekwondo. What a wonderful way to keep active. Great to see your hard work and dedication being recognised boys.
