P4a Update

It has been a busy and exciting couple of weeks in P4a! In writing, we have been creating engaging non-chronological reports, developing our research and writing skills. We have been focused on using connectives and different openers to make our writing even more interesting.
In maths, we’ve been exploring 2D and 3D shapes while continuing our work on fractions.
During PE, we’ve been lucky to have a football coach helping us develop new skills.    As part of our Viking topic, we have advertised Viking longhouses and learned about the Battle of Largs. We even wrote diary entries from the perspective of Scots preparing for battle.
We have also had the chance to visit our lovely library and choose some new books to enjoy!

Parents Evening Update – March 2025

Thank you to all of our families who attended our Parents Evening over the last couple of weeks. It was lovely to see so many of you.

 

 

We value the experience to meet with families to discuss pupil progress and next steps in learning. If for any reason you were unable to attend your scheduled appointment, please contact the school to arrange a mutually suitable time to meet with your child’s Class Teacher.

Thank you also to everyone who engaged in our Family Learning Consultation. 95% of families who participate felt that they would benefit from a Family Learning website, that demonstrates ways in which parents/carers can engage in learning with their children. As a result of this feedback we have started to create our bespoke website that we plan to launch in Term 4 of this session. 

Nurture at Wallacewell Primary – What does it mean?

Today at assembly we have been learning about one of our values – NURTURE.

We know that to grow and develop we all need NURTURE.

We know that to be NURTURED means you have a caring and stimulating place to live and grow.

We know that part of being NURTURED is being recognised that you are unique.

We all want and need to be NURTURED. It helps us to grow and develop.

 

P4a Weekly Update

It’s been a fun and exciting week in P4a! On Wednesday, we had a fantastic trip to the Glasgow Science Centre. There was so much to do and explore!
Back in class, we planted flowers and wrote clear instructions on how to do it.
In maths, we’ve started learning about fractions, focusing on equivalent fractions and how different fractions can represent the same value.
We had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day and we were thrilled to have author, Rob Biddulph visit today. We even learned how to draw a rhinoceros in a top hat! Now, we feel inspired to write and illustrate our own stories.

P4a Weekly Update

It’s been a short but busy week in P4a! We’ve learned all about the eight points of a compass and used our new skills to create treasure maps. We then wrote detailed instructions on how to find the buried treasure. In our topic work, we explored the first  Viking raid on Lindisfarne. We also had a fantastic time at our Golf It session today!

P4a’s Weekly Update

P4a have had a busy week! In maths, we explored different division strategies and practised telling the time. In literacy, we learned how to distinguish between fact and opinion, and in writing, we created detailed instructions.

As part of our topic work, we discovered Scottish inventors and famous landmarks. We also explored the Scots language and even had a go at writing a paragraph about ourselves in Scots – it was great fun!
