This week P7a have been getting into the festive spirit, by completing some Christmas STEM challenges.
In numeracy we’ve consolidated our understanding of volume, by using V =L x W x H, and using algebra to solve problems involving unknown measurements.
We’ve collaborated well in our reciprocal reading groups, and our developing our inference, summary and visualisation skills.

P4a have had a busy week this week. We have been revising multiplication strategies and practising our times tables. We have wrote detailed setting descriptions and have been learning how to uplevel our writing. We have now learnt 4 different Scottish country dances in PE! We can’t wait to do them at our Christmas party. We absolutely loved the Rookie Rockstars Christmas reunion on Thursday too!

We loved having the coaches from Achieve More this week for PE. Everyone got so invested in jump the river. Miss Stevenson has never seen us try so hard to do something.
Our research into the life of Robert Burns is getting underway ahead of our assembly next term.
🔤Literacy – this week in writing we continue to work on characterisation, comparing characters by their personalities, actions and how they communicate. We focussed on the characters of Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull from the novel Matilda.
🧊Maths – we have continued to explore shape during our maths lessons. This week we looked at 3D shapes and thought about how they are formed and what real life objects they relate to.
🎵For music we have enjoyed developing our skills on the glockenspiel. This week we were practising the song ‘Jingle Bells’. It was quite tricky to keep in time but everyone had a lot of fun.
On Monday we did some reading in the morning. After break we did some of our spelling and after we went to gym and did some Scottish country dancing and it was so fun.Then after lunch we were trying to finish our Jazz presentation.
On Tuesday we did maths then we finished our spelling test after that we played French blooket. After that it was break time.Then we finished our reading task from Monday.
On Wednesday we were doing some division tasks .After we got a chance to decorate the classroom with Christmas decorations and now the class room looked so Christmas themed.Then we went into our reciprocal reading groups.NeXT we did the 4 chocolate calendars!
On Thursday we went to an assembly to see Rookie rockstars and it was amazing. Later we did our space presentations. Then after break we did a very tricky division sheet.Then we went to STEM but we couldn’t do gym because people were using the gym hall and dinner hall (Nativity)and it was raining.☔️
On Friday we did some maths and after we did some Sumdog .Now we are doing reciprocal reading tasks and it is going to be lunch soon!

Dear Families,
Some of you may know that last year we started fundraising for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Cancer impacts so many of us in different ways. The Beatson offer outstanding care and support to those affected by cancer. At our Christmas Fayre last week we raised £170 for the charity. For the second year running Wallacewell Primary staff and our Parent Council will also be taking part in the Santa Dash in Glasgow this coming weekend to raise money for the Beatson. Please help us to raise our target by clicking on the link below to donate –
Every little counts and everything is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. 🧑🎄🎅🏻.

Primary 1 have had fun learning how to use concrete resources such as Numicon and cubes to add two numbers together.
