Tollcross Primary School

The playground and outdoor play committees would love any donations of the following (or similar) items for our loose parts play. Please hand any donations to Mrs Dripps and Mrs Frew. Thank you 😊 

It was lovely to see everyone back at school today, looking forward to a very exciting summer term at Tollcross Primary.

Wishing all our Tollcross families a lovely Easter holiday. Let’s hope the sun shines. We will welcome everyone back to school on Tuesday 23rd April 🐤 Stay safe and have fun.

We had a great time at the Swimming Gala!

Well done to all of the participants 🌊

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
