Fundraising for the Beatson

Dear Families,

Some of you may know that last year we started fundraising for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Cancer impacts so many of us in different ways. The Beatson offer outstanding care and support to those affected by cancer. At our Christmas Fayre last week we raised £170 for the charity. For the second year running Wallacewell Primary staff and our Parent Council will also be taking part in the Santa Dash in Glasgow this coming weekend to raise money for the Beatson. Please help us to raise our target by clicking on the link below to donate –

Every little counts and everything is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. 🧑‍🎄🎅🏻.

Poppies and Electricity P2b

This week P 2b got involved with some art and science. In art we created poppies to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Using paper plates and green card everyone made their own poppy. In science we learned what an electric circuit is and we had a go at making our own simple circuits using wires, batteries and lightbulbs. We also learned how a switch works within a circuit by creating a continuous path for the electricity to flow.

P2B superheroes

This week P2B have been exploring energy and character description through our interdisciplinary learning theme of super heroes. The pupils designed their own hero and wrote a description of their character. They also experimented with moving paper with static electricity and later in class discovered how we generate electricity from green energy sources. Next week we will be making simple circuits to create light

Fair Trade Update

We are delighted to share that we have been awarded a FairAware award from Fairtrade. This is the first of three awards that can be granted to schools in recognition of them taking action to learn about Fairtrade and its values.

Well done to Primary 3 and their AMAZING teachers who have worked hard to collate all our school evidence for the award. We look forward to continuing on our Fairtrade journey.
