Ollie and Rosie-Joy have been very enthusiastic and responsible Junior Road Safety Officers this year. On Friday they received their certificates for representing Wallacewell Primary School and organising events within the school. Well done!

Sunflowers 🌻 and Rockstars 🕺
This week P5 have been busy revising the 4 operations in Number and learning to write a detailed piece of writing involving describing how to make an ice cream sundae . We all wanted to have an ice cream by the end of the lesson.
The whole school have been preparing for the Rookie Rockstar Concert next week and some of the class are quite excited about it.
Sports Day is on Monday and everyone needs to bring a P.E kit . Hopefully 🤞 the weather will be fine and we will all have a great day.

P5a
This week P5a have completed work on volume . We have successfully planted sunflower seeds and seedlings are now appearing. By next Tuesday there should be about 24 sunflower 🌻 plants to be planted into large containers in the school. The children are enjoying learning as much as possible outside about plants and biodiversity.

A great week for learning outdoors.
It was good to have our athletics lesson all about learning jumping techniques outside on Tuesday. We were able to be creative about the space we could use.
Everyone in P5 had a great day on Thursday at Blair Drummond Safari Park. The weather has been particularly kind to us this week. On Friday P5a continued to learn about growing plants and learning outdoors. We have now planted our sunflower seeds that Miss Davidson was able to source for us. Hopefully we will be able to study their growth in different conditions and see most of them develop into sunflowers 🌻 by August. I am looking forward to watch our seedlings grow.

P5a
This week P5a have been writing short stories and learning to describe in some details , the setting of their story. Furthermore in Mathematics we have completed symmetry and revision of the 4 operations. They are all excited at the thought of the trip to the safari park on Wednesday. We are now hoping that the fine weather continues.

Upgraded entrance and car park to Wallacewell Primary.
We have inspected the drive since the workmen repainted the car park and the crossings on the driveway. It looks brighter and better now. You can see the crossing for children to cross over and the car park has lines that you can see. The disabled space is now closer to the main door.
We interviewed Miss Davidson about how she organised it. She had contacted lots of people from the council and got someone to do the lines. She thinks it is better and organised.
As the JRSO we like the driveway into school and think this will help with road safety.
Growing salad
This week P5a have planted more lettuce, 🥬 spring onions 🧅 and wild flowers. We are trying to grow tomato 🍅 plants inside! As the children are learning about how to plant and grow vegetables and are still finding out about how to plant a delicate plant like lettuce! So far I am encouraged by their enthusiasm and commitment to looking after the vegetables outside. This is all part of our topic focusing on biodiversity.

A good start to term 4
This term we started thinking about sustainability with lessons from Donald. He helped us understand the great environment we have to develop at Wallacewell Primary. With his help and guidance we had great fun helping to create a bug hotel.
We have started the term with enthusiasm! This week P5a enjoyed participating in the community clean up. Everyone got involved in picking up the litter around the school and made positive contributions towards planning how we could promote a clean environment in and around the school.
P5a started planting on Friday. We have planted salad vegetables and plants.
I think the first week of term 4 has been a great start!
Completing our Space topic
Last week P5a finished their space topic by studying images of the International Space Station and then creating their own version of the interior. They worked in small groups. Here are some of their creations.
Success at orienteering!
Primary 5 pupils have been learning about orienteering within the school grounds. The lessons included learning about grid references, reading compass point and following different maps. The winners from each class had their photograph taken holding a carabiner donated by Blairvadach Outdoor Centre to celebrate their 50 year anniversary. Everyone enjoyed the learning outdoors.
