P6a weekly update!

🔤Literacy – we continue to work hard on our reading. We have developed our skills in reciprocal reading and paired reading. We are becoming more confident when reading aloud. This week we have worked on our skimming and scanning skills as well as ensuring we answer questions in full sentences.

🔢Maths – this week we took our learning outdoors for some orienteering fun! We answered place value questions that were hidden around the playground. This was a lot of fun and everyone worked well!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️PE – this week we took advantage of the nice weather and went to the pitch for our PE lessons. Continuing with our team work, we played games of rounders. What great sportsmanship we have in p6a.

 

This week in p6a!

Literacy – For the past few weeks, p6a have been working really hard to improve their spelling. Daily input in class has been working well to help boost weekly spelling results and children have been engaging in a wide range of written and active tasks each week.

Maths – In maths, we have been working on money, looking at bank statements. We had fun looking at different scenarios and creating bank statements for people, thinking about their situations and what their income and outgoings would be. It was very eye-opening to see how much things cost and how little money can be left at the end of the month to do fun things!

Space Art

This week p6a created some fantastic space art using chalk pastels. We worked on our blending skills and shading, using white chalk to create a 3D effect.
We looked at scale to ensure our images were not too big and not too small.
The class were very impressed with the end results (as was Mrs Gray!)

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.

 

Author Visit

This week, as part of World Book Day, we were very fortunate to have a visit from Rob Biddulph – a bestselling award-winning children’s book author and illustrator.

We have been enjoying reading one of his fabulous novels in class called ‘Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City’.

As part of the visit, we got to hear about some of the other wonderful books that Rob has written. We were also invited to take part in a live drawing session with Rob which was a lot of fun!!
