The girls worked on their reaction times and passing and controlling the ball. This was followed by a fun game of 6 a-side – and the sun shone the whole time!

Fun at Computer Club
Over the weeks the boys and girls have been practising their keyboard and mouse skills at Computer Club. They can successfully login, type their name and use the drawing tools. They used the Big Brown Bear website to learn where all the letters on the keyboard are. Here is the link so they can play the game at home:

Positive Feedback
Message from @StuartReid So proud to receive feedback like this about our pupils. #luckyheadteacher.
“Thank you so much for inviting me to Wallace Primary School today. The children were an absolute joy to present to, and please pass on my thanks to all the teachers and helpers too. Hopefully, all the feedback has been good and everyone enjoyed my visit.
If there are any little readers who forgot their money on the day, just let me know their names and I will sign the books and pop them into the post asap.
The children are a credit to their school, and I look forward to meeting you all again in the future.”
Stuart Reid Assembly
A huge thank you to @StuartReidBooks for a fantastic assembly this morning! Stuart told us all about his journey to become an author and about his books. It was a fun, engaging and motivating assembly. What a way to end the week!
I’d also like to thank the Reading Rangers for inviting Stuart to Wallace Primary. The group wrote an email to Stuart and helped organise the event. Well done everyone!

World Book Day Reminder
We are looking forward to World Book Day at Wallace this week. Boys and girls in the school or nursery are reminded they can ‘Dress up or Dress Down’ on Thursday. They can dress as a book character, come in their pyjamas or their own clothes. There is no charge for this. We will hold a costume parade in school for those dressed up to show their costumes off to the other classes.
This year World Book Day is promoting “Sharing a Story.” Children will be issued with a reading challenge which encourages them to share a story in many different ways. We are also very excited to welcome a number of parents to Wallace to Share a Story with classes. It is great to have so many parents coming in and involved in the life of the school.
