Tollcross Pupils Decorate the Christmas Tree at Point Hotel
Our pupils had a great time decorating the Christmas tree at the Point Hotel. All of our pupils took part in a competition to design a decoration for the tree with prizes for the winners. Pop along to see the tree and the super decorations after our school Christmas Fair on Saturday. Thank you to the staff at the Point Hotel who made our pupils feel so welcome and to the member of staff who took time to have a conversation with Pablo in Spanish. ¡gracias

Switch-Off Fortnight 18 November – 1 December 2013
Tollcross Primary is joining thousands of schools to take part in the Switch-Off Fortnight Campaign. This is an excellent way to teach our pupils about energy issues and the importance of using energy efficiently. It is deliberately timed for the start of the darker and colder months when we start to use more heating and lighting. As part of our Switch-Off Fortnight each class will have two Switch-Off Monitors to help raise awareness of how we use energy at school. Support our school Switch-Off Campaign by wearing something bright to school on Friday (22/11/13).
