New P1 Induction
Today Miss Smith and Mrs Wightman were lucky enough to work with the nursery children who will be our new P1’s in August. The boys and girls were very well behaved and took part in our discussion about the playground. They drew pictures of themselves playing in our playground.
We all had lots of fun taking part in ‘Go Noodle’ where the boys and girls showed off some fabulous dance moves!
We met our buddies again and had a yummy snack.
We explored the playground with our buddies.
Miss Smith and Mrs Wightman had a lovely afternoon.
Whitelees can’t wait to see you all again in August!
It’s Monday and we think you’re…
Each week one lucky staff member has their name drawn out at assembly and we take time to recognise the many things that make them such a great part of our school!
This week it was Mrs McIntyre’s turn and she was delighted to read our comments and receive her certificate!
“She always smiles” “She is funny” “She has chats in the lunch hall”
“She is generous” “She is calm”
…and lots, lots more!!!!!!!
Well done Mrs McIntyre!

Cumbernauld Academy, here we come!!!!
Wishing our P7 boys and girls ‘All the best!’ as they set off on their transition visit to Cumbernauld Academy.
They will spend today and tomorrow following their timetable and finish off on Wednesday with a Sports Ambassador Event, before returning to us at 12 noon.
We can’t wait to hear all about it!
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
Today our pupils were encouraged to be positive about their own reflection and appreciate themselves as much more than what they or others see on the surface.
A few shared their thoughts…
” I see freckles!” – Holly– ” I am really good at gymnastics”
” I have a beautiful face” – Enya – ” I’m great at reading”
” I see my mouth” – Erin – ” I’m wonderful at dancing”
” I have loads of spots” – Zoe – ” I try my best at everything”
” I have nice eyes” – Alia – ” I am fantastic at acting”

Some of the children commented on how hard it can be to say nice things about yourself as there are so many things we can say to compliment others. It can feel that we are showing off or being self centred to say something positive but when we have a chance to think about it, it’s okay to remind yourself and others of what it means to be YOU!
BUT…just don’t say too much about yourself in case you stop recognising what makes others great!
P.A.Th.S time gives us a chance to hear about what makes us special!
We’ve got ‘Bikeability’!
A keepsake from Egypt!
We were delighted to receive a certificate made especially for us by this lovely boy!
If you know how to read Arabic, you will see that our school name is on the right side!
