On Tuesday, 10th October we tried a selection of Italian foods in class.  The tiramisu was extremely popular!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy holidays to staff and pupils at Wallace Primary and Nursery! Thanks for all your hard work and for  making me feel so welcome.  A great first term! I look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday 23rd October, have a great holiday! #luckyheadteacher

Primary 5 were set a tough challenge today… Miss Montgomery asked everyone to try and create the longest paper chain possible using only one sheet of A4.  To make it even harder, each chain had to be exactly 2cm wide! Each pair had the same materials to work with: one A4 piece of paper, one ruler, scissors and glue.  As pupils only had one piece of paper, they spent time discussing their ideas and strategies with partners before beginning to assemble their chains.

Everyone had different ideas and it was so interesting to see all of the different designs.  We all came together and used our estimating skills to guess which one was the longest before comparing the paper chains.

And the winner was….

 

 

Well done Primary 5!! Your ideas for creating your paper chains were all brilliant.  Good luck in the next challenge…

We enjoyed our music lesson. We were learning about high and low notes.

We are preparing our entries for the Paisley Museum Art Competition. Our theme is cats.

Miss Fulton and Miss Barrow prepared and delivered a fantastic German lesson to their classmates today. Well done girls, you were excellent teachers!

Primary 1 have just visited the Book Fair. We looked at lots of different books. There were books about fairies, cats, Lego Ninjago, Spiderman, unicorns and lots more. Children have a ‘post it’ in their homework folders which is a note of the book they would most like to read.

Last week, Primary 2 took advantage of some lovely weather and set off to explore Elderslie. We have been learning about the differences between living on an island and living on the mainland. This has started us thinking about what makes Elderslie a good place to live and asking why people live here and what we might find on our doorsteps.

Mrs Wilkie and her class set off to the football fields where they could see  houses had been built on the site of a carpet factory. They then crossed over the Brandy Burn and headed into the estate to see how many different types of housing they could see.

Mrs McKinnon and Miss Harper set off towards the shops down by the traffic lights. They found the site of the old swimming pool and also discovered a bowling green, hidden behind what used to be a library and the village hall.

We all walked along the main road looking for the cycle track – no railway station in Elderslie any more! We saw where the old Wallace Primary used to be over 40 years ago! Then it was on to the Wallace Monument,  ruins and tree that celebrate the fact that William Wallace was born here.

We had a wonderful afternoon out with the help of some of our mum volunteers. We know that  if you saw us out and about you would have noticed that we were on our best behaviour!

Primary 1 have  been dancing again to the ‘Word of the Week’. This week we are dancing to ‘You Should Be Dancing’ by the Bee Gees. We dance whenever the word ‘you’ appears on the smartboard.
