P4a Weekly Update

P4a have had a busy week this week. We have been revising multiplication strategies and practising our times tables. We have wrote detailed setting descriptions and have been learning how to uplevel our writing. We have now learnt 4 different Scottish country dances in PE! We can’t wait to do them at our Christmas party. We absolutely loved the Rookie Rockstars Christmas reunion on Thursday too!

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. 🧑‍🎄🎅🏻.

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.
