Important Reminder
We would like to remind families about Smithycroft Secondary’s Open Evening this week on Wednesday the 23rd October 2024 from 6pm. The event is for Primary 5, Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils and their families. This is an excellent opportunity to see the school, explore the various departments across the campus and ask any questions you may have about the transition from Primary to Secondary School.
Lots of great exploration in creative enquiry this week, all about ‘changes’. We have also worked hard on our persuasive writing, we used our iPads for editing. We created some fantastic iMovie trailers to advertise our class novel; Charlottes Web. We rounded off our Romans topic this week with a taster of some Roman style nibbles. It was good fun!
Have a great October week holiday!
Although this was the last week of the term P5b have been very busy. We all enjoyed learning outdoors weeding the plant pots , clearing the beds , adding to compost bin and adding more wood and moss to our bug hotel. Furthermore, the children pulled the choking grass away from our young fruit trees. Our photographs show how much everyone enjoyed the experience!
Our theme is Changes when we learn through activities in our Creative Enquiry Room. Some changed a well known story. Others changed bottles into submarines! Plans were made to change things around the school and lastly a few designed new outfits, including a new P.E. Kit. On Thursday afternoon P5 celebrated the end of our Roman topic, sampling some food , eating sitting on the floor as the Romans did. Your children have made a good start to their 1st term in P5
The children had a fabulous week engaging with all of their learning. The children worked so hard consolidating their numeracy learning through a range of active numeracy activities.
In literacy the children spent lots of time developing their letter formation, recognising initial sounds in words and enjoyed sequencing stories. We ended the week with some ‘have a go writing’. As always the children worked extremely hard to challenge themselves.
This week we finished our ‘Enchanted Forest’ topic. The children had some much fun exploring traditional tales in the playroom and loved learning about trees and why they are so important.
We finished our week with a ‘Ready, Steady, Sing’ workshop from the YMI CREATE team. The children absolutely loved all the singing and dancing.
As always I am incredibly proud of all the progress made this term, and I hope all of the children enjoy a well deserved break. Well done P1c!
Is your child starting Primary 1 in August 2024? Will they be joining us here at Wallacewell Primary. If so, we would like to invite you to our New Primary 1 Open Evening on Wednesday 6th November 2024 from 6-7pm. This is an opportunity for children and families to take a look around our school and ask any questions that they may have about the transition to Primary School. We look forward to seeing you there.
Dear Parents/Carers,
As part of Primary 2’s learning this session the children have organised a learning showcase for their parents and carers. During their showcase you will learn all about Harvest. The children have been working very hard to prepare for their showcase are excited to share their learning with you. This event will take place on Friday the 25th of October at 2pm. The children have also organised a Harvest collection for the day of their showcase. We would like to encourage our guests, if they can, to bring along an item of tinned or dry food for our collection.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
Yours Sincerely
Primary 2a and Primary 2b

Mr Milligan & Mr Collins
(Primary 2 Teachers)
Primary 1a have been using their imagination to explore the Enchanted Forest. They have created toadstools for fairies, heroes hideouts and lairs for villains. They also learned about the importance of trees in sustaining life and the planet and looked at the microscopic world through our bug viewers.
