Today we braved the outdoors to collect our tubs that had been strategically placed to catch rainfall last Wednesday. The children have learned the difference between climate and weather. Today alone we’d driving rain, sunshine and wind. Our tubs were full. Some of the children tried to use a bag like a windsock.

Luca explained that we have been learning about Usain Bolt as an example of how being determined and committed and positive can help you to achieve anything!  Roni and other girls would like to be a famous gymnasts, lots of children would like to be famous footballers. Naimh would like to be a successful author.

We believe that we can do anything and some of us need to build more confidence to do that.

Our gymnasts

What a great day the children had visiting Alloway to find out more about our national bard.  The children visited the museum, walked through the gardens and toured his cottage. They made butter too. The children behaved beautifully and were a credit to their parents and Whitelees Primary.

The children of P4 and Mrs Garey would like to say a big thank you to all of our visitors this afternoon to the Scottish showcase.

The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed learning, preparing for and then performing for you today. It really boosted their confidence and gave them purpose in their learning.

Thank you for the very positive comments that the children found very encouraging. Here are some below.
