Whitecraig Primary School

Celebrating Success!

Pupils at Whitecraig Primary School celebrate success within the school in a number of ways.

One child from each class is chosen by their class teacher to be the “Star of the Week”. They receive a star badge to wear all week, they have a star put onto our Star of the Week display in the entrance corridor, they receive a Star of the Week certificate at assembly on Monday morning and are given privileges for the week i.e. they go to the front of their class lines and the infants also get a Star of the Week table in the lunch hall where they and a chosen friend get to eat their lunch.

All children from P1-P7 take part in Golden Time each week. At the beginning of the week each child starts with 30 minutes golden time which they take either on a Thursday afternoon (P3-P7) or a Friday morning (P1&P2). Each class decides what they are going to do during golden time in their own class. The P1 & P2 children play with toys in the class, dress up, draw or play on the computer.The P3-P7 children can play class games, use the computer or do an art activity. Members of staff do sometimes have to take away golden time from a pupil if they feel that certain criteria are not met e.g. behaviour, homework etc

We also have our Head Teacher’s Special Work Wall in the main corridor. Work which is considered to be of exceptional standard is put onto this wall for everybody to see.

In the same corridor,  we also have our Wall of Acheivement and Display Cabinets. Any certificates which are given to the school e.g.for donations to charity, fundraising, achievements etc are again displayed for everybody to see.  Trophies and shields which are awarded to the school are also displayed here in our display cabinet.

Parents are reminded that they should let us know of any out of school success that your child may have and we will endeavour to celebrate it in our monthly school newsletter.
