Nesting and Girlsta Up Helly Aa
The Jarl and his squad came to visit everyone at the school. Primary 3/4 prepared a game full of challenges, games and questions to play with the Jarl. There was a swapping of gifts which was followed with a Boston Two Step danced by Pupils, Vikings, parents, friends and staff.
School Dance
We had a lovely morning doing traditional Shetland dances taught by Maria Leask over the past few weeks.
The last dance was a Grand March led by Abigail and Jack.

Anti- Bullying Poem Winners
Last week the Health Committee asked the classes to write poems about anti-bullying.
They judged the entries and selected one winner from each class.
Here are our winning writers with their certificates which the Health Committee presented them with in assembly. Bobby Anderson was then judged as overall winner with his poem called ‘Bullying is not Good’.
The winning poems will be on display during next weeks parents appointments.
Pudsey Bear visits Whiteness
P1/2 have been baking and we all wore our pyjamas or spots today to take part in Children In Need. We have raised an amzing £155.20 with a few more pennies to count that came in late.
Thank you to everyone for your support.
Wear Blue Day
In assembly we thought about “Just Be You, Wear Blue” and how we can stop bullying behaviours in school.
We all voted on the order of the next three things we would like to do in school to help stop bullying behaviours and support each other if we feel sad or excluded.
Promoting good mental health for everyone.
Last week we have been focussing on Growth Mindset, positive language and being happy. The Health Committee have been busy finding out what we all do to cheer ourselves up if we feel sad, frightened or anxious.
On Monday we had a visit from the NSPCC and Buddy, spreading the message about who we can talk to if things are tough. We also learned the Childline number.
0800 1111
On Friday we had a great morning with parents, grand-parents, friends and family coming along to take part in our coffee morning. Our focus was promoting good mental health. We had dispaly up in the hall and resources from Mind Your Head to help spread the message.
Thanks to all the wonderful support, we raised £295.58 which we will split between the NSPCC and Mind Your Head.
Getting ready
Everyone enjoying the morning
