This week the pupils in P5b produced some interesting recount writing involving the Iron Age. They pretended that they had lived in Scotland during this period. This has helped P5b imagine life in Pre-historic Scotland , just before the Roman invasion.
It was great to see so many adults at our open afternoon on Thursday. We have enjoyed embedding our PATHS programme in school.
We got to learn French words. I can count to 10! Charlie
We learned a song that helped us name the continents. Finn
We got to make posters about Non-Fiction books that made people want to read them. Sara
The posters were to persuade them. Charlie
We used collage to make the branches of our wellbeing tree. Alice

We did Diacritical Marking to help us sound out ‘ea’ words. Broady
This was my best week in P4! Ruaridh R

It was my favourite part of the week. Jessica
Mrs McGilp became a gran and we made her cards and posters to welcome the baby!

This week the two new JRSO attended an induction meeting at Glasgow City Hall. They were very impressed with the venue and are looking forward to involving Wallacewell Primary in some new projects. They will promote Road Safety in and around our school this year.
This week P5b have been learning about Iron Age Scotland. Everyone has created their own character, roundhouse and described the daily life of a family in prehistoric Scotland. P5b have achieved a great deal in a short time.
They have continued to learn about Place Value and revise their addition skills. We have started the novel The Titanic Detective Agency and written a factual account of life in Iron Age Scotland paying attention to punctuation and extending each sentence.
keep up the good work P5b

Our under water scene scratch art was a fantastic success and we are all really pleased with the results.

We then continued our topic by working with a partner to discuss and sort different animals in to those that live on land, those that live in the sea and those who live on both land and sea.
We were working hard again on our place value this week in maths and have now all began our new reading books. These will be taken home each night.
This week has been the best week in the world. Elena-Rose
Place Value Stations were super-dooper fun! Elena Rose
Using the iPads was fun. Allan
We did partitioning and made pyramid. I challenged myself to partition millions. Ruaridh R
We learned about the phases of the moon. Poppy
We now know about First Quarter, Waxing Crescent, New Moon, Waning Crescent, Third Quarter, Waning Gibbous, Full Moon and Waxing Gibbous are the names for the phases. Rylie
Waxing moons show them getting bigger. Drew
Waning moons show it getting smaller. Finn
Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon. Finn
We came to our own decisions about whether the moon landing was real because some people don’t believe it is. Maisie
We made information posters for Primary 3 to tell them all about the moon. Jessica
We learnt how to say numbers up to 10 in French. I was good at pronouncing the words because my dad can speak French. Lily
We did an Author Study on Dick King-Smith because he wrote our novel, The Hodgeheg. Ya Ya
I think it will be fun to keep reading The Hodgeheg. Nezar
The main character bumped his head and now his words are mixed up which is why it isn’t called The Hedgehog. Cooper S
I think this is going to be the best term the school has ever had. Cooper L
Last week we were learning about place value in maths and completed lots of different activities to show we can identify and make different numbers.
.
We also began our Under the Sea topic. We are now able to names the 5 different oceans and where they are on a map. At the end of the week we started making some wax scratch pictures. Firstly we coloured our piece of paper with brightly coloured crayons and then covered it in black paint. Next week we will scratch off some of the paint to hopefully produce some colourful under the sea art work. Look out for our finished masterpieces later in the week.
This term we have started to learn about Iron Age Scotland at the time of the Roman invasion. The children have designed their own roundhouse and worked together to make a hill fort in groups. It was good to see them working the layout of their fort as a group.
