Primary 5 are developing sustainably at Wallacewell this term. We are growing flowers from seeds that are good for insects and birds.We need your help.
We are looking for plant pots to help us grow our seedlings in bigger pot. Primary 5 would be very grateful if you could donate any plant pots.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

This week P5b have been very busy. Our first topic in STEM and topic is Sustainability. We have been planting seeds and learning about plants to help birds and insects. We need empty, clean milk bottles to make into watering cans and to collect rain water.
In maths we have been revising addition and subtraction using different strategies. I am very pleased with the effort all the children have made to learn.
What a great way to end the 3rd term in P5b. On Tuesday the children in P5 all planned an afternoon of fun with PIZZA and drinks, using some of the money they raised from their Enterprise project last term. The weather was surprisingly warm and everyone had a good time. The children have decided to purchase games for outdoor activities for P5 with the rest of the money. The class have been completing their newspaper reports about the 2004 Tsunami. They made notes and then completed their newspaper reports as journalists.👍I have just marked their writing and I am impressed with their efforts. As the weather has been terrific it was not a hardship to plant some seeds on Wednesday.We hope that next term we will 🤞have some seedlings 🌱 to look after. Mrs. Jodah
This week P5b managed to continue some of their symmetry tasks outside before the weather changed for the worse! Revision of the 4 operations is ongoing. In literacy P5b were learning to write a newspaper report about a natural disaster. I have been impressed with their progress.
Everyone enjoys Thursday afternoon as we have STEM in the creativity room . Lots of learning and fun. Mrs. Jodah
This has been a very busy week for P5b. We have covered work in division and coordinates in Maths. Money has been assessed!The children really liked going outside to explore symmetry in nature.We have successfully completed the reports about Natural Disasters. Next week everyone is going to start their own mini topic. Today P5 went outside with a P2 class to assist with their learning about coordinates. That was fun sharing our learning. Mrs. Jodah
This week P5b have been continuing their writing, learning skills to write a report about Natural Disasters. They have used the information they previously collected using note taking skills. There has been a good effort to produce an interesting report by everyone.
In Mathematics P5b are now completing money and have moved from angles to learn about coordinates. This should lead us to map reading and sometime outside focusing on orienteering. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us!
This is the last week of the Forces topic. The children have enjoyed the theme to then go off and plan their own learning on a Thursday afternoon.

On Monday morning we do this thing called epic reading and it’s on the iPads. After that we did our reading tasks with miss Donachie . Our class found out that we get privilege cards when we are good. When it was the end of the day we got book tokens so we can get books from a book shop.
On Tuesday we went outside to play for free time and it was really fun. We done a book quiz. Then we did our usual reading tasks and reading groups with our teacher. After that we played a game of blooket witch is a game on the iPads that the whole class can play.we went to the book fair to see what books were there but we didn’t buy them.
On Wednesday we did maths with Mrs Jodah. We did reciprocal reading with our reading groups. We did gym and for gym we did team games and it was really fun. We did our topic work witch is about volcanoes and we drew volcanoe diagrams.

First at stem I really enjoyed doing the balloon car and air force. Also it was fun to do the video of the character movie .It was fun and the characters were quite good and funny. Then most of the people in our class did the electricity experiment.They had to make a circuit it was quite cool. Secondly we got to make our own design with paper and we got to put magnets on the paper and it is so cool when it is done. We also got to do gym and it was fun because of the coach leaders, they played football games and Ollie Ollie octopus as well. Also all of p5 are doing a showcase it is going well so far the dancing and the singing is amazing. The parents are coming to see us perform on the 21st of February 2025 .We all are very excited to perform on stage.
Meanwhile there is also Sikh drumming it sounds very good when you clap with it goes very well with our showcase.

At the science centre on Thursday First we went to go see the planetarium room we got to see a bunch of stars and planets we even got to see inside of Saturn’s rings.When we were going to another planet or star there was an orb that made it feel like we were moving.Meanwhile after that we had a snack downstairs then after that we went to floor three.There were stuff like skeletons and there was a dance room as well there was also a little skeleton tunnel that you could crawl through.I tried the pull up thing and I tried to run as fast as a cheetah it was very cool.There was also two jumping things one was something where you try to jump as light as you can I tried it and when I did it I jumped so lightly it said something went wrong are you there no joke the other one told you how high you jumped and I think it was rigged because it kept on saying 1m 48cm no higher.Also there was this mind set you have to relax and keep still there was this little ball that moves when you are relaxed when you get the ball to the other persons side you win but if the ball comes to your side they win.On level two there was a pattern memory game were you can pick levels like hard easy or medium so basically it made a pattern to get to the end and you step on the blocks that light up and if you step on the wrong one you lose.on level one there was a upside down room everyone loved it and there was a little room that it looked that you where big one one side and one the other side it looked like you where tiny.Then last we had some lunch went on a bridge and saw the oldest steamboat in Glasgow.
