Primary 2 Learning Showcase

Dear Parents/Carers,

As part of Primary 2’s learning this session the children have organised a learning showcase for their parents and carers. During their showcase you will learn all about Harvest. The children have been working very hard to prepare for their showcase are excited to share their learning with you. This event will take place on Friday the 25th of October at 2pm. The children have also organised a Harvest collection for the day of their showcase. We would like to encourage our guests, if they can, to bring along an item of tinned or dry food for our collection.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Yours Sincerely

Primary 2a and Primary 2b

Our Values – What They Mean to Us

We are delighted to share our refreshed school values with our school community. Our Pupil Council worked with Miss Jardine this week to design visuals for our values and have outlined what they mean to us through their values posters.

 

Our Commitment to Equality

At Wallacewell EVERYONE IS WELCOME. Last year we refreshed our Equality Policy which highlights our commitment to celebrating and promoting diversity across our school        community. We believe that all learners have a right to learn in an equitable environment where all cultures, religions, identities and languages are recognised and valued and where the curriculum responds positively to the diverse needs of individual learners, reflecting the    uniqueness of their communities.

As you will be aware, last session we focused on developing understanding of racial equality through our health and wellbeing programme. Through self evaluation and quality  assurance, including discussions with our children, we have decided to continue to focus on promoting and developing race equality and anti-racist education again this session.

Unfortunately we are aware of racist incidents that have occurred out with school within our local community. We, and schools across the country, also continue to  manage a variety of racist incidents involving pupils in school. Whilst we have little control over what happens within our local communities and cannot control the actions of others, we will not tolerate racism of any kind within our school community. As such any racists incidents, such as name calling, will be  managed as per our Anti-Bullying Policy.

To promote and develop racial equality families can support us by—

  • encouraging positive and open conversations about race and racism at home
  • having conversations about race and racism often, not just when it’s in the news or when an incident occurs
  • supporting children to understand the lived experience of ethnically minority groups

Families can find lots of helpful guidance on the NSPCC website below. We would like to thank families in advance for their support.
