Celebrate Africa Day – 18th May 2015

Our Fairtrade Team have been teaching all pupils a special dance routine that will be performed on Monday as part of our Africa Day Celebrations.

Fairtrade Africa

Pupils are welcome to bring along a piece of brightly coloured clothing to wear during the performance…the more colourful, the better!

We can’t wait to see how our Flash Mob dance will look!

We are looking forward to new learning!

New P1’s for August came to visit today and were talking about what they are looking forward to doing in school.

Louie is looking forward to learning the ABC song

Olivia and Leah are looking forward to learning to write

Alysha is looking forward to reading story books

Logan is looking forward to learning numbers and counting to 1000.

Noah, Luke, Sheryl & Harry-James are looking forward to fishing for Phonics.

We look forward to seeing you all again next week.

Meet ‘Wendy the Whitelees Waste Warrior’!

Wendy

Primary 4 realised the dining hall was becoming far too messy and so took it upon themselves to find a solution! They designed and created their own version of a ‘Waste Warrior’, using the Whitelees Warrior for inspiration. Leona and Eva both managed to create characters that were so fabulous Mrs Hunter and Mrs Oliver decided they should be combined. ‘Wendy The Waste Warrior’  was the outcome and both girls are thrilled!

Primary 4 also invented a brand new Waste Warrior song and proudly introduced and performed this in front of the whole school. Listen out for it in our summer show! Each day, Primary 4 are responsible for helping to keep the dining hall spick and span and give Dojos to the children who try hard to do the same.

They are pleased to announce that the Dining Staff have reported a remarkable improvement in the amount of mess left over, after lunch.

Well done Whitelees!

The BIG Day IN!
