For the last few weeks Primary 2B have been working very hard on developing their creative writing skills through character description. They have worked hard to use adjectives and connectives to create detailed descriptions of characters from Alice in Wonderland. Their descriptions of both the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter were excellent and they are all very proud of their work as is Mr Collins. Big well done Primary 2B.

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. 🧑🎄🎅🏻.

P2 pupils did amazing work this week learning about time. Boys and girls are now able to tell the time for o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. This is amazing so well done. They have also worked very hard on their Alice and Wonderland character descriptions. Keep it up.
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.
On Wednesday 20th November 2024 our Rights Respecting Schools Pupil Committee have organised a Dress Down Day as part of their global fundraising project. Suggested donation £1. Help our Rights Respecting Schools Pupil Committee to twin our toilets and fund a project in a community that helps families to build their own basic toilet, access clean water and learn about hygiene – a vital combination that saves lives.
After the success of our Quiz Night last year, our Quiz Night is back. Booking info will be issued to families tomorrow.Join us for our annual Family Quiz Night

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
