🔤Literacy – we have began work on poetry – analysing what to include in a ‘good poem’. We have focussed on the use of rhyming words and similes.
🔢Numeracy – in numeracy this week we have been looking at squared number patterns. The children were all very engaged and enjoyed the challenge. They can’t wait to move on to cubed and triangular numbers.
🧠Health and Well-being – following on from our work on growth mindset in term 2, we read the book ‘The Dot’ by Peter H Reynolds. This book encourages creativity and helps to promote a positive mindset. We used our imaginations and creative skills to draw some pictures using a ‘dot’ within each. We have some very good artistic talents in p6a!
This week, both p6 classes had lots of fun at their Christmas party 🎵🎄
There was lots of music, dancing and food! We even managed to have a bit of fun with some party games.
Wishing all our families a wonderful Christmas and an Happy New Year. We can’t wait to see you all back in 2025!
Dear Families,
We have almost made it to the Festive Break. The children and staff at Wallacewell Primary have been working very hard and I am extremely proud of their achievements to date.
As always, thank you for your continued support. The Staff Team at Wallacewell would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2025! We look forward to welcoming our children back to school on Monday the 6th of January 2025.
Yours
Miss L Davidson

This week p6a enjoyed a trip to the Kings Theatre to see Peter Pan! The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and represented the school proudly. What a great start to the week and a lovely treat for everyone.
In class we have been busy working on characterisation in writing! We used the description bubbles to help us when creating our own characters. We then expanded our notes, adding more detail, to create a description of our characters.
Dear Families,
Our Parent Council Meeting scheduled for Monday the 16th of December 2024 has been cancelled. Meetings will resume as scheduled in the New Year. As always, meeting agendas and minutes can be found on the Parent Council section of the school website.

🔤Literacy – this week in writing we continue to work on characterisation, comparing characters by their personalities, actions and how they communicate. We focussed on the characters of Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull from the novel Matilda.
🧊Maths – we have continued to explore shape during our maths lessons. This week we looked at 3D shapes and thought about how they are formed and what real life objects they relate to.
🎵For music we have enjoyed developing our skills on the glockenspiel. This week we were practising the song ‘Jingle Bells’. It was quite tricky to keep in time but everyone had a lot of fun.
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. 🧑🎄🎅🏻.

As part of our IDL topic on Scotland, p6a have been researching famous Scottish Inventions!
We found that Scotland actually had a lot of inventions over the years! Some of them we didn’t know about. Here are just a few of the ones we discovered :-
We took a note of the year all these inventions and created our own timelines!
