JRSO signing off for June 2025

Firstly we enjoyed being a JRSO because we went to the city chambers to edit videos of our work and made a full video out of our photographs and videos. It was fun to make!
Then we went to ASDA this year. We were handing out bags to people walking in and out the store about road safety.We earned flashlights because we handed them all out in under half an hour!We then started walking back and when we got back everyone started asking us about it.  It was good to be part of the Wallacewell JRSO team!
Also we have did something called travel tracker which if you walked, cycled, scootered or park and stride so if you did those  once a week you could earn a badge from us . This was to help people think about walking to school .
In conclusion we loved being a JRSO and we will miss it .

Happy Times

I just want to say that it has been a privilege to be a teacher at Wallacewell Primary School. The children have always contributed daily to my learning journey throughout my career. It is now time for me to retire and spent more time at my fitness classes!
THANK YOU ALL.

This week in P4a

This week, we worked really hard to prepare and present short talks about endangered animals. We learned so much about different animals and the threats they face. Everyone did so well and achieved the talk targets. We’re very proud of our efforts!

P6a

Another busy week for P6a.  On Tuesday we enjoyed the sunshine at Pinkston Basin for our second visit.  When on the water we were kayaking, we learnt to control the kayaks very quickly and were soon gliding through the water playing a game of conquer.  The groups in the forest were challenged to build a den and then we tried to make a fire with flint and steel.

On Wednesday the class were challenged to build a marble run using limited amounts of cardboard, paper straws, masking tape and card.  The end results were all so innovative and fun to play.

The class spent time on Thursday in the playground calculating speed, distance and time.  Children timed themselves using stopwatches to complete activities.

P4a Weekly Update

We’ve had a fun but busy week in P4a! In maths, we’ve been revising subtraction and learning how to subtract using exchanging. In literacy, we’ve been working on writing descriptive recounts, and we also created our own comics. The highlight of the week was definitely building our own castles out of cardboard. We used everything we’ve learned about castle features, worked as a team, and showed lots of creativity. We are so proud of our finished models!

DYW Playroom – P1C

This week in our playroom the children have been exploring our Developing the Young Workforce topic and experiencing a range of different jobs through exploration and role play. The children have engaged so well in all of the play experiences provided and have used their creativity and imagination to create new roles within their play.

We continue this learning within our writing lessons this week. The children were asked ‘What do you want to be when you grow up’. Everyone was able to say what they wanted to be and give a reason for this choice.

Well done P1C for another very successful week of learning!

P6B go to Pinkston!

P6B went to Pinkston Water Sports on Wednesday. We went into the local woodlands and learned all about appreciated our green spaces within Glasgow. We created art using leaves and sticks, went on a bug hunt, and completed some team challenges. We did especially well in the team challenges and our instructor was impressed with our teamwork!

Afterwards, we went canoeing in the man-made canal! We had to work together to make the large canoe move against the strong winds. At the end we all had a race in the canoes and got to jump in the canal!

It was a fantastic day and now we cannot wait for next week!

Pinkston Basin Day 1

On Tuesday we had the first of our visits to Pinkston Basin to participate in activities for three awards:  The NOLA (National Outdoor Learning Award), Glasgow Urban Adventure Award and a Watersports award.  It was a bit of all four seasons in one day but that didn’t stop us from participating and having a great time.  Half of the day was spent on the water in canoes and the other half was exploring the forest. We are looking forward to Days 2 and 3.
