This week in Art we have been studying the different painting styles of Pablo Picasso. We then created our own paintings. The results were fantastic!

Galaday 2018
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!

P5 Bake Sale
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!
Day 11: Baby Chicks
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’s Green Fingered Learners
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!
Day 10: Baby Chicks
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.
Bake Sale this Friday!
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!
