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. 

it's gtby

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!

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!
