As part of our Changemakers initiative, our Care Home Crusaders visited Summerdale in Brightons, bringing joy to the community.

What a privilege to work with an amazing team of Depute Headteachers from across Falkirk Council at the Primary DHT Network last week. Looking forward to the next session.

Every day, schools achieve the impossible in plain sight. We just don’t stop often enough to notice.

Over the last few weeks, we have absolutely loved participating in the YMI sessions. This has given us amazing experiences of early literacy, dance, singing and parachute games to name but a few! Look at the absolute joy on display during our recent session.

Our amazing P5 #WallacestoneChangeMakers!

We were delighted to welcome Primary 7 pupils from @wallacestoneps.bsky.social , this morning. They engaged in many fun activities & were fully engaged. Feedback: When can we come & do this again? We had so much fun! And: I'm buzzing for high school! #RRSA #ARTICLE28

Thanks to Lynne @educationscotland.bsky.social for her input at our Braes Cluster Curriculum Refresh group tonight. We heard more about the progress of the national Social Studies Curriculum Improvement Cycle group, asked questions and contributed to the ongoing discussion. #collaboration

Today P2 were visited by a beekeeper. We got to try on beekeeping suits, taste honey and learn lots of new facts about bees! 🐝

Watch us in action spinning honey! 🍯

Primary 2 are 'beeing' 🐝 🐝 Wallacestone Change Makers as they learn about the influence we can have on the planet. #learningforsustainability #wpscommunity

We made the most of the beautiful afternoon by working together on an autumn hunt. We found woodlice, spider webs, a squirrel, berries and lots of colourful leaves.

We used natural materials to represent numbers and created some natural equations in our playground. #MathsWeekScot

Reading fluency can help to bridge the gap between decoding and comprehension, so why aren't more schools putting it at the heart of their literacy policy? Penny Slater details what it is and how to master it

Our Primary 6 and 7 pupils lead the learning of their peers through approaches such as Pedagoo Friday which give opportunities for personal achievement.

Our September newsletter was emailed home yesterday. You can also find it on our school website here www.wallacestone.falkirk.sch.uk/communicatio...

Great to see the buzz about @mathsweek.scot across the school. #wpschallenge #wpscuriosity

Asking 'why this, why now' supports us with choices in a crowded curriculum landscape. Really great to hear our teachers speak so positively about how it is helping to keep a rigorous focus on the intended learning. #curriculumdesign #curriculumcoherence

“You have to really know your families in order to be able to connect with them in any way whatsoever. It has to be real. It has to be meaningful,” – Holli Williams

"Where we have seen the strongest schools, the ones with curriculums that delight, excite & have impact, the intent is not a statement; it was part of the planning for the curriculum at the point of its creation." @greeborunner.bsky.social @ensermark.bsky.social www.crownhouse.co.uk/how-do-they-...

Our classes are using the Falkirk Council Learning for Sustainability Framework to plan ways for our pupils to become Wallacestone Change Makers. #learningforsustainability #wpscommunity

We enjoyed sharing our ‘character who cares’ as part of joint reading event 🧸

Also as part of our “P3 Sustainable Superhero Change Makers” topic we have been learning about recycling. We discussed what goes in each of the Falkirk Council coloured bins. Ask us to help with the recycling at home.

This morning we have been sharing our story with friends in our class. We have chatted and laughed about all of the great stories we have brought in 😊📚

More Wallacestone Change Makers in action. Thanks to Denise for all her help.

Along with our friends from Maddiston PS, children across our schools explored how the characters showed empathy. Children brought in books to talk about a character. Lots of great examples across the school. @empathylabuk.bsky.social

We had a lovely time sharing our books and talking about the caring characters we chose at our reading event today. 📚

As part of our “P3 Sustainable Superhero Change Makers” topic we did a litter pick in our school grounds. We are very proud of our school community and want to keep it clean and safe for everyone to enjoy. We were all very responsible and did an excellent job.

We loved sharing our stories this morning and exploring kind characters.

Yesterday we extended our learning with our counting collections. We used bigger numbers and thought of lots of different ways to represent the number.

Tomorrow we are celebrating empathy through stories with our "A Character Who Cares" event tomorrow. An email and letter was sent home earlier to explain details of this. Looking forward to hearing about a variety of characters and stories tomorrow. 📖💖😁

Today we explored adjectives to describe a character from Supertato! We also used a range of media to describe our partners. 🗣️

Great examples of our Primary 1s Working Playing and Succeeding together. #wpscuriosity

We cleared cupboards, tidied the Den and planters around the grounds.

Busy morning with children, parents, grandparents and staff from Wallacestone. We were delighted to be joined by our friends from Maddiston PS too! School looking all the better for everyone's hard work! Thank you! #wpscommunity #workplaysucceedtogether

First coat complete! Thanks to Gary and Akzonobel for the very generous donation of all the paint and equipment to let us paint our new school library space.

Our new school library project is go! The transformation starts now... Thanks to our volunteers from the Wallacestone and Maddiston PS communities! @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social will be working with us over the coming weeks as the new space takes shape!

Thanks to Ann in our school kitchen for coming in to reward all our volunteers with a bacon roll for their hard work. Thanks to our Parents' Association, PAWS, for all their support with costs of materials 💐, tools 🛠️... and bacon. 🥓

Great job on the Den tidy up! We are hoping to develop the lower part of the Den as our outdoor reading space with access from our new school library space. @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social working with us to turn this into a reality!

Great to see the different ways our pupils are learning and taking a lead in their school and local community. #WallacestoneChangeMakers #wpscommunity

Wallacestone Change Makers in their own right! Well done to this team of pupils who took it upon themselves to organise a fundraiser for their classes. #wpscommunity

Great to see our pupils leading learning. #ConnectedFalkirk

Was great to have some pupils from @mrshoppe-wps.bsky.social visit Mrs Robertson and I today. Great to see the high expectations and standards children are setting for themselves. Aim high! #wpschallenge

Thanks to @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social for their support to improve our P7 class libraries this week. We are looking forward to working with you on our new school library project. 📘📚#wpschallenge #wpscuriosity

Thriving outdoors during an outdoor learning opportunity 🌳 We were identifying trees in our playground by their leaves.
