Confident Individual Assembly

This morning at the whole school assembly we congratulated those children who had been selected to be presented with certificates for being Confident Individuals.

We also had children from across the school showing any wider achievements that they had gained.

Mrs Gardiner told the children that she had been notified about the Road Safety Calendar Competition. Unfortunately none of our children won the competition, but out of 1900 entries from 82 schools we were lucky enough to have 2 children selected to receive Special Recognition Awards for their entries. Well done girls.

Fairtrade

Mrs Gordon joined us this morning for part of assembly. She came in to show us the certificate that has been awarded to Wishaw, following its renewal as a Fairtrade Town, which was first awarded in 2004. Here at MPS we are proud to be part of the steering group for Faitrade. Thanks to Mrs Gordon for all her help in this.
