Primary 3 have been learning about Fairtrade. We began by completing a survey to see what we knew and watched a video which explained what Fairtrade was. We then discussed why it is needed to help the farmers get enough money to look after their families. We chose the journey of the chocolate to learn about and were interested to find out that it starts as a cocoa bean on a tree thousands of miles away.
Primary 2/1 created bubble cauldrons. The children wrote fantastic sentences to describe what spooky items they would put in their potions, inside their cauldrons!
MESSAGE FROM THE PARENT COUNCIL FOR PRIMARY 7 PARENTS
Dear Families,
For some time the walking distance to Smithycroft Secondary, for children transitioning there after Primary 7, has been a concern for families. The Parent Council, as part of one of their Grand Challenges, have been liaising with Glasgow City Council (GCC) regarding these concerns. In order for us to continue to do effectively we need to have as much information as possible. We recently asked all families to complete a short survey to provide us with the information that we need to allow us to continue discussion with GCC. So far only 17 families have completed the survey. Can we kindly ask that if you have not already completed the survey, you do so by the 11th of November 2024. An email link has been sent to all Primary 7 families today.
Additionally a number of families who have completed the survey, who may be eligible for free transport support from GCC, have not yet completed the online application form. If you think you may be eligible for transport support, primarily because you live more than 2.2 miles from the local catchment secondary school by the shortest suitable walking route, you must click on the link below to apply. The school or Parent Council cannot do this on your behalf.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us via email – wallacewellpsparentcouncil@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk
Kind Regard
The Parent Council
Free School Meals
Lots of our families, who we believe are entitled to Free School Meals (FSM), have still not registered. As you will be aware all P1-5 pupils attending school in Scotland are entitled to free school meals.
For other pupils (P6-7), parent or carer must be in receipt of –
If your child is in P1-5 and also eligible for free school meals due to low income, you should still apply for free school meals to make sure that you get the Scottish child payment bridging payment. We would also encourage parents/carers of pupils in P6-7 to apply if you think you meet the criteria above.
Please visit the website for further information and to apply. If you require any assistance please do not hesitate to contact us at the school.

This week we had lots of fun with Halloween themed activities. During our Active Play sessions we gave all our games a spooky theme.
In literacy we learned how to write an acrostic poem. We then made our own using the word Halloween and shared these with the rest of the class. They were all fantastic and most had a very clear theme about getting lots of sweets.
In maths we were learning about measurement. We used a ruler to accurately measure our broomsticks in cm. We also continued to practise our adding and subtraction strategies.
On Thursday we had fun with some Halloween themed dancing and even the staff got involved trying to show off our best moves.
