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.
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

P6b Scots Week
P6b have been learning all about Scotland during Scots Week and through our current topic “Scotland”. We read together the wonderful book ‘Neeps and Tatties’ by Carey Morning and Anna York. This book gave us the chance to discuss friendship and diversity. We also had the opportunity to try and translate some Scots words to help us deepen our understanding of the book. After, we created our own Neep or Tattie character, describing their personality and appearance.
The children also got to create a timeline of Scottish events. We discussed these events and the impact they had on Scottish history.
Finally we explored tartan! The children carried out their own research on tartan to create a factfile. We spoke about clans and family tartans, some children discovered their own families tartan! We then created our own tartan using chalk pastels and some black card (which was a bit messy but lots of fun!).
