Wallace Primary School and Nursery Class
Happy Together. Learning Together. Succeeding Together.
Primary 7 have loved visiting Elderslie Bowling Club for the past few weeks. They’ve been busy learning all about the rules of bowls and now know how to bowl properly. They’ll be taking part in a competition in the next few weeks when it’s Mrs Clydesdale’s class against Mr McGill’s class! We’ll keep you updated on their progress.
As part of their topic, Primary 4 have been learning about the United Kingdom and the countries within it. Today, the pupils were learning about the flags and capital cities of each country. They all worked very hard and produced brilliant work. Well done P4!
P2 listened to a description of Katie Morag and then used it to create their own mini-Katies. Well done Primary 2, they all look amazing!
Primary 5 have been busy helping Primary 3 log into Sumdog for the first time. Sumdog is a great website for practising maths skills and it’s lots of fun! Primary 3 can’t wait to play it again.
Dear Parents / Carers,
I am delighted to share with you the details of our Meet the Teacher event to be held on Wednesday 6th September. In response to feedback from parents the format will be different this year with class teachers delivering a short informative talk about the year ahead. This will cover plans for the year as well as homework expectations. Talks will last around 10 minutes to allow parents with more than one child to move between classes.
Primary 1: 5pm
Primary 2: 5.15pm
Primary 3: 5.30pm
Primary 4: 5.30pm
Primary 5: 5.45pm
Primary 6: 6pm
Primary 7: 6.15pm
Following the Primary 7 talk there will be a presentation about the Loch Insh trip.
During the evening I will be hosting ‘Meet the Head Teacher’ in the hall. Tea and coffee will also be available. This is an ideal opportunity for me to meet as many parents as possible and enable parents attending more than one presentation to pass the time between meetings.
I look forward to seeing you on the night.
Kind regards,
Mrs Susan Dalrymple
Head Teacher
Each Friday we would like every child to try to bring a piece of fruit for their snack. The class with the most children eating fruit for their snack will get an extra 10 minutes of playtime one day the next week! Come on Wallace – let’s get healthy!
