This week in P7a

This week P7a has mainly focused on preparing for our leavers showcase extravaganza, as well as revising numeracy, assisting with P1 transitions and preparing for Scotland’s big weekend at the World Cup.

Celebrating Diversity

A huge well done to our four fabulous children who proudly represented our school at a recent Diversity Podcast event!

The children enjoyed working collaboratively with pupils from other schools across our learning community, sharing their thoughts and ideas about diversity and why it is so important. They took part in meaningful discussions, listened respectfully to others, and spoke confidently about celebrating differences and creating inclusive communities where everyone feels valued.

It was wonderful to see them working together, learning from one another, and contributing so positively to such an important conversation.

We are incredibly proud of the way they represented our school and can’t wait to hear the finished podcast when it goes live soon!

Well done to all four children on this fantastic achievement!

Easter Message For Families – April 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we reach the end of another busy and successful term at Wallacewell Primary School, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our families for your continued support throughout the year. Your encouragement and partnership make a real difference to our school community and to the experiences of our children.

I hope that everyone enjoys a restful and relaxing Easter break, with plenty of time to recharge and spend time together.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to our Parent Council for their kindness and generosity in providing an Easter treat for every child in the school. These will be given out on the last day of term and are very much appreciated by us all.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Easter without a few jokes to share with the children:

  • Why did the Easter egg hide?
    Because it was a little chicken! 🐣
  • What kind of stories do Easter eggs like best?
    Yolk tales! 🥚
  • Why shouldn’t you tell an Easter egg a joke?
    It might crack up!

You might even want to challenge your child to come back after the holidays with a new Easter joke to share with their class!

To accompany this message, you will find our Annual School Calendar for the remainder of the school year. The calendar was introduced this year to provide families with as much advance notice as possible of key events and activities taking place across the school.

It is important that families check the calendar carefully and add any relevant dates to their own diaries. While the school will continue to send emails and invitations as reminders ahead of events, the calendar provides a helpful overview of what is planned for the months ahead.

Thank you once again for your continued support of Wallacewell Primary School. We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the holidays for another exciting and productive term.

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter and a well-deserved break.

Rights Respecting Mascot

The Rights Respecting Committee are delighted to announce that the winner of our Rights Respecting Mascot competition goes to Razan Sheraz (P4A), who has worked incredibly hard on her design.

The standard of entries was exceptionally high, making it a very tough competition to judge. We were truly impressed by the creativity, effort and thought shown by all participants.

Razan ensured her mascot reflects everything we promote at Wallacewell Primary School.

Please see below our fantastic new mascot—well done, Razan!

We would also like to extend a big thank you to everyone who took part. Your amazing contributions made this such a memorable competition.

Free School Meals

Lots of our families, who we believe are entitled to Free School Meals (FSM), have still not registered. As you will be aware all P1-6 pupils attending school in Scotland are entitled to free school meals. For Primary 7 pupils,  parents/ carers must be in receipt of –
  • Universal credit and earning no more than £726 in the monthly assessment period before you apply.
  • CTC only with income under £18,725
  • CTC/WTC with income under £8,717
  • Income support
  • Income-based jobseeker’s allowance
  • Income-related employment and support allowance
  • Asylum support from the Home Office
If your child is in P1-6 and also eligible for free school meals due to low income, you should still apply for free school meals to make sure that you get the Scottish child payment bridging payment and access to free Breakfast Club. We would also encourage parents/carers of pupils in P7 to apply if you think you meet the criteria above.
Please visit the website for further information and to apply. If you require any assistance please do not hesitate to contact us at the school.
