MESSAGE SENT ON BEHALF OF THE PARENT COUNCIL AT WALLACEWELL PRIMARY – March 2024

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 first pertains to the recently announced budget cuts that will have a catastrophic impact on the children of Glasgow and our children at Wallacewell Primary. Within our recent Parent Council minutes we have outlined the action we plan to take.

PC Minutes – 18.03.24

We would like to encourage parents/carers to send letters to Councillors, MSPs, and Executive Officers. Please find below a draft letter that you may wish to use along with a list of email addresses to send your letters too.

GCC EDUCATION SERVICES BUDGET CUTS – Parent Carer Letter March 2024

4. Email addresses for budget cuts letters

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. These issues impact on all school aged pupils in the local area and will continue to in the future if action is not taken. The focus of the meeting will be as follows –

  • The negative impact of the recently announced education budget cuts on all children in the area
  • The capacity of the local primary and impact any increasing numbers will have on the service delivery and future enrolments
  • The lack of transport to get pupils safely to the feeder high school— Smithycroft Secondary School

Representatives from Glasgow City Council and Local Builders have been invited. Various media outlets have also been invited to the meeting, BUT we need you and your views. Children are also welcome at this meeting. This is your opportunity to share your concerns.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us on – wallacewellpsparentcouncil@glow.sch.uk

Thank you.

Sincerely

Wallacewell Primary Parent Council

Easter Message – March 2024

Soccer 4s

Over the past few weeks, Primary 4a have been enjoying working on our football skills with Ben, a Soccer 4s coach. We have been practising dribbling and passing and have even managed to play some games. Primary 4a have been so good at working as part of a team during these sessions. We are already excited to see what we will be doing next Wednesday!

Outdoor Learning

Last week in p4a, we took our learning outdoors! We have been learning all about Ancient Egypt, so did a Pharos hunt in the playground. There were 8 Pharos hid around the playground. Working in pairs we had to find each of the Pharos and write down facts about them. We had lots of fun!

Explain Everything

Last week in Primary 4a we used a new app called ‘Explain Everything’ to display our research on Egyptian Pyramids. We worked with a partner to research pyramids and gather information then used our creativity skills to present our information in an engaging way

.

Religious & Moral Education

Primary 4a have been learning about places of worship. We have worked hard to create dioramas that show the most common features that you would find in churches, mosques and gurdwaras. Next week we are going to visit a real church!
