A huge well done to our four fabulous children who proudly represented our school at a recent Diversity Podcast event!

The children enjoyed working collaboratively with pupils from other schools across our learning community, sharing their thoughts and ideas about diversity and why it is so important. They took part in meaningful discussions, listened respectfully to others, and spoke confidently about celebrating differences and creating inclusive communities where everyone feels valued.

It was wonderful to see them working together, learning from one another, and contributing so positively to such an important conversation.

We are incredibly proud of the way they represented our school and can’t wait to hear the finished podcast when it goes live soon!

Well done to all four children on this fantastic achievement!

The Rights Respecting Committee are delighted to announce that the winner of our Rights Respecting Mascot competition goes to Razan Sheraz (P4A), who has worked incredibly hard on her design.

The standard of entries was exceptionally high, making it a very tough competition to judge. We were truly impressed by the creativity, effort and thought shown by all participants.

Razan ensured her mascot reflects everything we promote at Wallacewell Primary School.

Please see below our fantastic new mascot—well done, Razan!

We would also like to extend a big thank you to everyone who took part. Your amazing contributions made this such a memorable competition.

Two years ago, our school community came together to raise funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Cancer impacts countless lives in different ways, and the Beatson continues to make an incredible difference through its compassionate care and unwavering support.

The Beatson Cancer Charity works alongside the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre – one of the leading cancer care facilities in the UK – providing vital funding for specialist staff, innovative research, and improved patient wellbeing. From emotional support and complementary therapies to cutting-edge treatments and clinical excellence, the charity ensures that patients and their families receive the best possible care at every stage of their journey.

We are proud to continue supporting the Beatson and the life-changing work they do for so many across Scotland.

This year, some of our amazing staff will be taking part in the Glasgow Santa Dash 2025 with Beatson Cancer Charity on Sunday the 7th December at Glasgow Green. Please help us to raise our fundraising target by donating to our Just Giving fundraising page. Click on the link below to access –

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 .

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, 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!
