Dear Parent/Carer,
As you are aware, Whitburn Galaday takes place on Saturday June 23rd. This year the school has been given winter as our theme. As many of our pupils already have costumes from the Disney film ‘Frozen’ these could be worn. Alternatively pupils should wear a white T-shirt, white leggings or tights and a snowflake headband.
Those who wish can order a snowflake costume from the school. This will consist of a snowflake headband and a white T-shirt with a snowflake motif at a cost of £5.00.
Please complete the tear-off slip sent home today and return to school with payment by Friday 8th June to allow orders to be placed. The photograph below gives an idea for the snowflake costume. A snowflake headband,white face paint and big hair with white or silver spray will complete the look. We look forward to seeing the result, have fun!

There was a joyful atmosphere in the P5G classroom this morning as both of our P5 classes joined together for their Charity bake sale. A fabulous £240.30 was raised for Shelter. Well done boys and girls!
Today we carried out experiments to see if the baby chicks liked different kinds of food.
We offered them; apple, cucumber, potato, lettuce, corn on the cob, toast, carrot, normal chick feed, meal worms and live worms (freshly dug up from the garden).
There was a little bit of interest in the meal worms and live worms (after the chicks worked out what they were) and lots of interest in their normal chick feed.
As for the fruit and veg, they were less than enthusiastic and just ignored most of it.
Primary 1 also popped in for a wee visit and got to see the chicks up close.
Tomorrow we say goodbye to the chicks. It’s going to be a sad day!
P5N spent some time out in the school garden this week to help paint and weed some of our flower bed areas. We were blessed with perfect gardening weather and enjoyed getting our hands dirty!
Sorry this post is a day late!
My two helpers today were Charlie and Klaudia. They did a great job of caring for our chicks this morning and making sure they had everything that they needed.
In the afternoon, we allowed the chicks to have a run around the class. They loved the extra space and we loved being able to pick them up.
More updates soon.
Just a reminder that both of our P5 classes will be hosting a Divine Mercies bake sale this Friday with all money raised going to Shelter, the homeless charity. All items will be priced at either 50p or £1. All classes will have a chance to visit our bake sale and buy some tasty treats. Remember to bring in your pennies!
Dear Parents/Carers
The construction company carrying out work on the footpath and fences across from the school have asked me to draw your attention to the signs in place to indicate areas of the site which are closed. It is not safe for pedestrians to walk on the footpath behind the barriers during construction work or to drive in these areas. A number of children are entering the site and climbing on the equipment after school. Please reinforce to children that it is not safe for them to do so.
Vehicular access to the school remains the same; visitors to the school from 8.15 am until 9.00 am and from 2.30 pm until 3.15 pm should park in Gateside Road and walk along the footpath to the school. It is not safe for parents to park or drop off children in the staff car parks. The bus parking area and small area behind the houses are not suitable for parking as it involves vehicles reversing when children are crossing the area.
We are committed to keeping our children safe and ask for your continued support in making the area in front of the school a vehicle free zone when children are using this area.
Thank You
Mrs Burns
The chicks were weighed again today and are all a few grams heavier.
They also got another wee run around the kitchen, although this time they were a lot more energetic. Several seemed to be trying to fly!!!
