Great to see so many parents joining us for National Numeracy Day this morning. Lots of challenges, games, puzzles and problem solving. Everyone had a great time and lots of fun with numbers.

Please come along to the Primary 7 Coffee Morning on Friday 18th May from 9.15am to 12 noon. The theme of our Coffee Morning is Health and Wellbeing. We hope you can join us. The Health and Wellbeing Committee and the Growth Mindset Committee have worked together with Primary 7 to organise this event.

This morning Emily MacKenzie visited P1, P1/2 and P2. We had a wonderful time listening to her stories and learning how to draw her characters. We learned about her inspiration behind some of the characters and the journey she went on to become an author and illustrator. We definitely have some budding illustrators in the making here at Tollcross! We will be ordering several copies of her books over the next few weeks for pupils to borrow and share with you at home, we hope you enjoy the stories as much as we do! Thanks to the First Minister’s Reading Challenge- Inspiring Classrooms project for the funding to allow this to happen.

This is our plan for this Wednesday for National Numeracy Day. All parents are very welcome to pop in from 9 – 9:30 to see Number of the Day and our Big Brain Stretch Challenges. 🧠💪

Please remember to join us for a family learning event to celebrate National Numeracy Day on 16/5/18 from 9.00 to 9.30. Come long and try some of the number puzzles created by our learners. Younger siblings, grannies and grandads are welcome too.

Thank you to our wonderful Parent Council for organising the International Fiesta. What a wonderful way to celebrate the diversity of our school community. Thank you to all the staff who came along to help and support. So many talented performers 😊

We have been watching the eggs in the incubator and we saw three chicks hatch this afternoon. They are now in a soft bed of sawdust with some food and water. We hope that more chicks will hatch tomorrow 🐣
