One of our aims on our Eco Action plan is to reduce, reuse and recycle. As part of this the Eco committee have set a challenge over the Easter break for pupils to upcycle some of their rubbish into something useful. We look forward to seeing what you can make and have fun with this challenge. Good luck!

MESSAGE SENT ON BEHALF OF THE PARENT COUNCIL AT WALLACEWELL PRIMARY
Dear Families,
We would like to draw your attention to two important pieces of information.

The Glasgow City Parents Group have also created some draft letters that you can access on their twitter page. We would also encourage parents/carers to attend one or both of the budget cut demonstrations being held at George Square this week – Tuesday the 26th of March at 4pm and Thursday the 28th of March at 12.30pm. We need as many people to attend these events as possible to stand up to the proposed budget cuts and ensure our voices are heard.
We would also like to draw parent/carers attention to the Public Meeting arranged for the 18th of April 2024. The Parent Council would like to encourage ALL parents/carers to attend this meeting on Thursday the 18th April 2024 at 7pm at Wallacewell Primary, to discuss the issues relation to education provision that currently impact on the residents and children of Robroyston.

We have almost made it to the Spring Break! We have had a very busy time in term 3 and are looking forward to our final term of the session when we return after a well deserved holiday.

This week the children have been very busy with their learning. We had fun recording and taking part in short talks about Ancient Egypt.
In maths we have been working on applying our knowledge of the 4 operations, and learning about symmetry. The children experienced this through play and games. They especially enjoyed our symmetry game ‘anything you can do I can do’. Take a look at their creations!
In P.E for fitness we have been learning about building our stamina. The children tried something different this week and had a go at yoga. Everyone did such a fantastic job creating and holding all of the different poses. Ask us to show you some of our new moves.
In the play area the children got very creative at the origami station, they created origami cats. Some of the children got very creative and tapped into the force (using their critical thinking and problem solving skills) to turn their cats into little baby Yoda’s well done P3a!

Thursday was World Book Day. The children celebrated by dressing up as their favourite book character or coming into school in their pyjamas. At assembly we heard some fabulous readers from all stages in our school, and of course D did P3a proud by reading a passage from his favourite Harry Potter book.
In class the celebrations continued and we turned our classroom into a ‘Reading Restaurant’. The children had the opportunity to discuss their favourite books and use HOT’s question dice to support their discussions. They then used drama to retell some of their favourite stories. The children loved writing sandwich book reports, and they had fun creating new characters at our ‘build a body buffet’. We all really enjoyed ourselves and loved having time to read some of our favourite stories.
