P4b have been learning about measure this week. We enjoyed the sunshine whilst using the measuring app on the iPads to find the length of different objects. We also used the trundle wheels to help us find the perimeter of parts of our playground.

Sustainability week
It’s been a busy 1st week back week in p6, where we have been consolidating our learning on sustainability. We were outside building a BUG HOTEL , which was great fun, we used lots of different materials to build it and learned new skills in the process. In class we have been designing our own SUSTAINABLE CITIES, we
have shown great teamwork and cooperation and used all our prior knowledge of renewable energy sources as well as our learning on creating a more sustainable future. Finally, we went back outside to take part in a COMMUNITY CLEAN UP event. There was a lot more litter in the surrounding area than we expected, but we quickly got it all cleaned up!
JRSO update
On Tuesday 12th of March Ollie and Rosie traveled to the City Chambers to make a film about road safety around Wallacewell Primary. They had a great experience learning about the task of making a film and all the jobs associated with creating images for a film. The next task is to share their video with the school.
Food Groups and construction
This week P2/1 explore different food groups. We also read the 3 little pigs and decided which material would be the best to make a house out it. We then tested our ideas. 
Prehistoric World
Primary 2 have been learning about the life of Stone Age people. They learned about what they ate, how they hunted and how they lived. They did an amazing job creating their own Stone Age houses.
P7A stem challenge
This week P7A learned about our solar system and the planets. They also learned how to create scale models through their maths learning. Using this knowledge P7A pupils were able to create scale drawings of the planets and including their distance from the sun. The pupils managed to use their knowledge of division and measure to create accurate scale drawings. Very well done!
STEM Afternoon
Primary 2 had on their engineering heads at the STEM afternoon when they had to design and build their own freestanding Christmas tree. Lots of planning and team work when on in the classroom.
CLUBS
We are delighted to share this term’s morning and after school clubs. Last term we targeted upper school, this term we have introduced clubs for our middle school and, next term, we will target our lower school pupils. For those pupils in the dance club, the City of Dance Heats will take place on 28th November at St Roch’s Secondary, 3.30 – 5pm. As always, if you have a PVG Certificate and would like to support the school by leading any extra curricular activities, please get in touch.
September Catch Up
Last month we were busy in numeracy working on different addition and subtraction strategies to help us all find one that works for us. Some children challenged themselves by working together to complete the tarsia puzzles.
We have also been extending our knowledge of 2D shapes and making tiling patterns.
Lastly we were lucky to have the opportunity to get outdoors and visit Robroyston Wildlife Park with Gavin who is one of the rangers. He was fantastic and it was great to learn about our local area. We were very lucky with the weather which made the visit even better.
P5a October
This week we have completed our Recount writing assessment and consolidated our understanding of the Romans in Britain. Everyone has enjoyed using the material in the Creativity Room and research our topic using iPads. Furthermore I am happy to see so many children in P5a learning and working together.
