Primary 1 enjoyed their Christmas lunch yesterday!

 

Primary 2 children should bring a Christmas themed outfit for the Nativity performances (eg Christmas jumper or t shirt with dark skirt/leggings/trousers), in a named carrier bag on Monday 10th December. The children will need  this for the Nativity dress rehearsal on Wednesday 12th December and the performances for parents on Friday 14th December.

We had a surprise visitor to Primary 1 over the weekend! Mrs Claus left us a ‘Book Advent Calendar’. We have a books wrapped up for every school day in December. Ask us what we read in number 3 today!

Auditions will be held on Monday 3rd December…good luck!

Primary 6 developed valuable life skills when working in groups to prepare and cook ‘squash and sweet potato soup’ accompanied by cheese scones.  The children enjoyed using the new cooking equipment and setting up the cooking classroom.

Wallace Primary will be holding its traditional Talent Show on the afternoon of Friday 7th December. We would like to let the parents of budding Primary 2 performers know that we will be holding auditions on Tuesday 4th December. There will be a chance for each person wanting to perform at the Talent Show to show the P2 base their act and a vote will take place with 2 performers being chosen to go forward to perform in front of the school.

Anyone entering the competition MUST HAVE their own music preferably burned to/or on a cd and have any props ready for the auditions. We will not be practising their acts with them or sourcing any necessary tracks or props! They must also have these ready to perform on Tuesday 4th December as this is when our auditions are timetabled.

Good Luck! We can’t wait to see the performances!

Primary 7 were challenged to do a Book Report during Book Week and were encouraged to be as creative as they possibly could… here are some of the results!! Well done P7!

Over the past couple of weeks we have been busy exploring 2 and 3D shape during our maths zones. Below are some of the activities we have been doing as we become familiar with their properties.

@AttainRen Recently, Primary 7 have been learning about number patterns and sequences…we can now tell you all about square numbers, square roots, Fibonacci and Pascal!

We also studied triangular numbers and worked with a partner to represent the first ten triangular numbers before sharing our strategy with the rest of the class.

Things then got a bit trickier when we then tried to find the 20th triangular number!

We quickly realised that the previous strategies would take us a long time and so tried to look for a different way of doing this…after learning about Carl Gauss and how he was able to quickly calculate the 100th triangular number, things became much clearer!

Most of you should already have found some lines to learn as the whole of Primary 2 are narrators. If not, please check the homework folders and let us know if it has gone adrift! We are well into learning the songs and you should all have received the letters regarding ticket allocation and also Christmas lunches this week. (Please return lunch letters even if your child is opting for a packed lunch on December 6th).

For the performance, children should wear a Christmas outfit eg a festive t-shirt, jumper or party dress. However, we would ask that the children not wear Christmas hats or large hair accessories in order to give you the best view of your child possible.
