A brilliant day in school today raising £369.21 for Comic Relief. Thank you to the P6/7 class for organising this for us. We had great fun with the stocks at the end of the day with all P7’s and some staff getting a good soaking.
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

This year four pupils, Caoilinn, Bobby, Holly and Zander went to the Euro-quiz heats in Shetland and won. On 13th of May they travelled to Edinburgh to take part in the finals. All the schools that won their heats went to the final which was held in the debating chamber of the Scottish parliament on the 14th.
There were four rounds and all the teams took part in three. The rounds were geography, language and understanding Europe. The last round was for the two leading teams. There were buzzers and microphones and the team who got the most points won the Euro-quiz 2018.
Whiteness was representing Shetland for the quiz and came 16th out of 31 teams that were in the finals. 472 teams took part in their local heats.
They had a great time going inside the parliament and seeing Edinburgh and have learned a lot more about Europe on this experience.
They would like to say thank you to all the support and encouragement we have had from teachers and parents and another thank you to the Scottish parliament and all the people who made Euro quiz 2018 happen!
