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.

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
We love reading
Last Friday we had a brilliant afternoon when Andy Stanton, author of the “Mr Gum” books visited Whiteness Primary to speak to the P3-7 classes. Our Early Years and P1/2 class enjoyed a bookbug session with Morag Nicholson from the Shetland Library. Burravoe Primary School, and our community came along to join us too.
Andy had lots of fun with the pupils, he was pretty crazy and completely on their wave length, it was so lovely to look around the hall and see a mass of smiling faces. We hope too, that he has inspired our pupils.
