My First Week at Wallace

I have had a wonderful first week at Wallace Primary and Nursery Class. Thanks to all the staff and pupils for making me feel so welcome.

Today I had my first assembly with Primary 2 -7 and we explored being kind to others by filling our imaginary buckets with kindness and compliments and enjoyed singing a new song Build Up.

Next week we will have red carpet celebrations and Head Teacher’s Awards, look out on the website for the photographs.

LONDON TRIP

We had a fantastic journey down to Drayton Manor yesterday. The kids were fantastically behaved on the way down, and had a ball in the theme park, which was just the right size for us. Many of them had definitely taken their brave pills, and there was a great sense of achievement for all. After a lovely evening meal in the hotel the children went to bed with very little fuss and were all fast asleep just after 11pm.

There wasn’t a peep from the rooms until morning, when many of the children were uand dressed way before their wake up call!!!

Our tour around London was pretty congested this morning thanks to the Queen opening parliament. However it was very interesting and we even saw a military drive by as they made their way to Westminster. We have just had lunch and the groups are currently enjoying a bit of retail therapy before we head off to Pineapple Dance Studios 🙂

The workshop at Pineapple Dance studios was just amazing! We can’t believe what the children were able to achieve in just two hours- you won’t believe the videos! It’s got everyone sooooo excited about the show tonight. We have feasted on pizza and ice cream and are in our seats ready for the show to start!

Matilda was great, and made even more special when the song we learned in our workshop came on 🙂

Another quiet night! Off for a very busy morning…..

The hearts have stopped racing following the London Dungeons! What a brave bunch! The sea life centre was a hit too. We are now enjoying the sunshine and taking in the sights as we head down the Thames to Grenwich for our trip on the cable cars.

We had a brilliant evening at Charlie, the seats we had meant we saw all the action up close. We had some very sleepy heads on the bus, so last night was definitely the easiest in terms of getting the kids to sleep- despite some German school children having a party above us!!!! We have had our final breakfast this morning 🙁 , and are just doing our final packing before heading to Harry Potter 🙂

Eco schools is a programme for promoting environmental awareness. It is linked to most subjects in the curriculum, and will involve all children in cross curricular areas such as Citizenship, Health Education, and Social Justice

Eco Schools offers Wallace:
1. The opportunity to make environmental issues an intrinsic part of the life of the school.
2. The opportunity to develop young people’s decision making skills.
3. Materials and ideas for projects and events.
4. Access to a network of support agencies across Scotland.
5. Potential for financial savings, and opportunities to secure additional funding for the project. Action Plan.

We have completed our annual Environmental Review and have decided that the topics we will develop in session 2014-2016 are:
This looks at 10 main areas:
1.Litter
