P5a update

It has been a busy start to the term this year. We have been working hard in maths and literacy already, and supporting our learning playing games and working collaboratively to share our knowledge.
We begun our IDL topic exploring the Celts in the iron ages, we looked at how they lived and what they did. We had lots of fun making roundhouses and hillforts for the tribes. We also had a go at paper weaving, since weaving was very popular back then! We produced some fabulous examples. Next we will be comparing the Celtic life to the Romans and finding out what happened next!

P3a

We now have our play area set up with our focus for the next few weeks being Fairtrade. We were learning how beans grow and using our data handling skills to show how far different products travel to reach us.

There was lots of fantastic learning going on and we have more great artwork for the walls.

Another popular activity were the Bee-bots which we had to program to visit the different shops.

We finished the week learning about the lifecycle of a sea turtle.

JRSO walk to school

Jaishan and Leah our JRSO stood up at the Assembly this week to tell everyone that we had been selected to join Wow ,a charity promoting walking to school. This year the JRSO will try to encourage everyone to try to walk 🚶 all or part of the way to school.

Leah said “ I found telling the school about WOW perfectly fine.”

” I found talking on the stage a bit nerve racking but also very fun. Overall, I think it was a bit crazy in front of the school.

They are both determined to do a good job to promote road safety at Wallacewell Primary this year.

September Begins in P5b

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.

Class Charter

Primary 6a have been working hard on their class charter.

A class charter is a set of rules, that children and teachers have all agreed on for the classroom.

These rules created to help children understand that they have certain rights in the classroom. These rights are important, as they help to keep everyone safe and happy while they are at school.

Class charters also help us to develop a sense of responsibility, ensuring that the classroom environment is fair for everyone.

we have come up with our own set of class rule which we have all agreed to. This should make our class environment enjoyable for the year ahead!
