P5a End of term round up

What a busy final week of term we have had in p5! We have been consolidating our learning in maths through games.

We had lots of fun at our Christmas party, and we have been very busy preparing for our p5 enterprise, where groups have run a small business, making products to sell. We held our enterprise on Thursday afternoon, just between the 2 p5 classes and it was a huge success, where children have raised approximately £160! We would like to thank you all for your support in making this venture such a success!
The children all had lots of fun working on their team enterprise and showed fantastic teamwork and communication. Well done p5!

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!
P5a and Mrs Mair

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 –

P5a this week

This week we were exploring weather in creative enquiry and conducting different experiments, making rainbows and rain clouds was fun!  In maths we were focussing on multiplication strategies. In writing we were continuing to work on character descriptions. In topic we learned about astronauts on the ISS and in art we used oil pastel to create realistic representations of Saturn in Space. We have also been working hard on improving our handwriting this week. It was also the first week of our fun 51 masterclasses, which were good fun.
