First week back – P1c
We have had a wonderful first week back in P1c. The children have all worked incredibly hard in all areas of their learning. Everybody loves our Room on the Broom topic and the children had a wonderful time exploring forces and story through a range of play experiences.
On Friday the children really enjoyed getting to see the P2s Harvest show and all the children were a fabulous audience. We then ended our week with a wonderful workshop from Wildside with Donald. All the children loved our outdoor learning and especially loved using echo location to understand how bats catch their food.

Last week of term in P1c
The children had a fabulous week engaging with all of their learning. The children worked so hard consolidating their numeracy learning through a range of active numeracy activities.
In literacy the children spent lots of time developing their letter formation, recognising initial sounds in words and enjoyed sequencing stories. We ended the week with some ‘have a go writing’. As always the children worked extremely hard to challenge themselves.
This week we finished our ‘Enchanted Forest’ topic. The children had some much fun exploring traditional tales in the playroom and loved learning about trees and why they are so important.
We finished our week with a ‘Ready, Steady, Sing’ workshop from the YMI CREATE team. The children absolutely loved all the singing and dancing.
As always I am incredibly proud of all the progress made this term, and I hope all of the children enjoy a well deserved break. Well done P1c!

New Primary 1 Enrolment – August 2025
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.

P1c – Enchanted Forest
The children have been enjoying their new topic, Enchanted Forest. In the playroom the children have engaged well with all experiences. They especially loved creating soundscapes with all the different instruments and creating their very own enchanted forest picture. Well done P1c!
