A very wet week!

As usual P5a have been working very hard this cold week. Despite the chilly conditions we were able to practise our skills about perimeter in the playground. A great way to enjoy learning!


Today we completed our Space topic and everyone was able to show their work.
Next week weather permitting we will start to plant some seeds in the plots behind the P5 classrooms.🤞

JRSO update

On Tuesday 12th of March Ollie and Rosie traveled to the City Chambers to make a film about road safety around Wallacewell Primary. They had a great experience learning about the task of making a film and all the jobs associated with creating images for a film. The next task is to share their video with the school.

All in a good week

This week, P5 went outside to learn about reading grid maps and this time we added using a compass. Everyone enjoyed the learning even in the rain! ☔️ Next week we have planned to include the pitch with the maps, weather permitting!
The road safety team came to Wallacewell and we all enjoyed a quiz! These lucky 4 are the winning team.

On Tuesday 2 pupils from P5a went to the CIty Chambers to make a movie about road safety around the school. The whole class had supported and contributed to their script and film.

Well done Rosie and Ollie

JRSO film crew

The P5 JRSO have been very busy this term making a road safety film. Ollie and Rosie-Joy have written the script, chosen the “actors” and organised all the photographs they need to make this short film. Wish them luck as they travel to the City Chambers on Tuesday 12th of March to  finalise their work.

What a week!

This has certainly been a very interesting week. On Tuesday primary 5 received their first coaching experience from the Rangers Team. Everyone enjoyed and learned from the experience.  World Book Day on Thursday was a fantastic opportunity to share our thoughts and experiences around reading books 📚.
Although it was a cold day P5 took part in an orienteering lesson outside to learn around coordinates. I think it was a great success and weather permitting we will continue with this next Friday

This week the JRSO members have been very busy, writing a script for a film they are going to make about road safety around our school. At the moment it is all at the planning stage.

Diversity Day

Today primary 5 took part in many activities to celebrate our similarities and differences. The children participated in any discussions and tasks. Here are some photographs of the work that they produced today.

Angles outdoors


P5a were outside measuring angles in the playground. They were looking for acute and obtuse angles in the branches of the trees. They found many acute angles but only a couple of obtuse angles. This was an interesting way to explore mathematics on a Friday morning!

Making a movie! February 2024

Today the JRSO started to make their video about road safety around the school. They have written a script and are embarking on including puppets to help promote the message for children to be careful when crossing the roads near the school.

P5a. February 2024

This week P5a have made great progress with their persuasive writing and our brochures about Scotland are nearly completed. They planned their work integrating topic and language skills to produce a convincing argument to have a holiday in Scotland.
We braved the weather to take our Maths outside to learn about compass points and angles in the environment. Later P5a  were able to transfer their skills into the classroom and measure angles with a protractor.
