Tollcross Primary School

So lovely to hear from Zoe and Zac, we are looking forward to catching up with them when they visit Edinburgh on Monday 25th February. Zoe and Zac have sent this message to all their friends at Tollcross Primary …

Hello everyone,

This is our new school. It is called Ecole Montchapet élémentaire. Élémentaire is the French term for primary school. We are very happy here now but at the beginning it was quite hard because it was a new language and we didn’t know all of it. Also we had to make new friends. In the playground we play touche-touche (tig), billes (marbles), and chat perché.

At lunchtime your parents decide if you go home or stay at school to eat. At the school we all sit down at the tables and there is only one set meal and someone reads the menu. We always have a starter, main meal, cheese and dessert.

We finish at 16.05 and start at 8.50 but we have a 2 hour lunch break. We each have two teachers that work together at different times if the week. The first does Monday and Tuesday and the second Thursday and Friday. Here Fridays aren’t half a day, it’s the Wednesday instead. The teachers take turns with the Wednesday.

Zoe is in the choir but it is very small. We miss Tollcross and think of you lots!

Happy New Year to all our Tollcross families and friends. We welcome the staff back tomorrow and our pupils on Wednesday 9th January. If your New Year Resolution is to get fit, have more fun and enjoy time together as a family then remember to come along to our free family salsa classes after school on Wednesday, everyone welcome. 💃🏼🕺🏻

Wishing all our Tollcross families and friends a relaxing festive holiday and a happy new year. We will see everyone back at school next year on Wednesday 9th January 2019.

P7 were outstanding at the JGHS Christmas concert last night. They looked super smart and were excellent representatives of the school.

They sang some tricky songs with enthusiasm and a smile, so proud!

Lots of sparkles and fun at the P6 & P7 Party!

A big thank you to everyone who donated to Mission Christmas. Ms Chadwick and Ms Anderson delivered all the gifts to a local drop off point. Thank you to our Tollcross families, friends and staff for all the kind donations.

Congratulations to our Tollcross Primary tennis star who represented Scotland in the under 8s tennis tournament at Stirling University this weekend. We are so proud of you and look forward to seeing you at Wimbledon in the future 🎾
