Assembly News

Our wonderful Health Committee worked hard during their lunchtimes to prepare a powerpoint presentation on Mental Health which they delivered at our Wednesday Assembly.  Next week is Child Mental Health Week which willl see the whole school raising awareness of this very important aspect of our wellbeing.  Our Health Committee gave some very important information about what we can do with our bag of worries, explained how this can make some people feel and where we can go for help.  I am sure the whole school will find it very interesting next week as we explore further how to look after our mental health.  Well done to the Health Committee for their hard work and wonderful presentation.  During the assembly we had an unexpected visitor, Mr.Paul Jukes, Chief Executive of North Lanarkshire Council.  He reported that he thoroughly enjoyed our assembly and the very topical theme being explored.  It was lovely of Mr.Jukes to pay a visit to our school and to provide his support as the school prepares for a visit by HMI on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Friday Assembly

On Friday our magnificent House Captains and Vice Captains presented their last whole school assembly as they came to the end of their term in office.  They have been outstanding ambassadors for the school and lead by example.  Next week elections will be held for our new House Captains.  Friday’s assembly was an opportunity for presenting school news and and celebrating success.  Our gymnastic team achieved great success on Wednesday and the team got a chance to take a bow and receive their certificates.  Our Writers of the Month, Maths Star of the Month and Artist of the Month also received their awards and will have their work displayed in Achievement Avenue.  One of our Pr.1 pupils came out to tell the school about how he had a growth mindset and never gave up when he was learning to ride his bike.  Now he can ride his bike with only two wheels! It was a great message to share with the school about trying and succeeding.  Great work boys and girls!
