SURPRISE!!!!

Two baby chicks greeted us as we arrived this morning.

Lucky and Sunshine, welcome to the world!

During Maths, Yoke and Pickle made an appearance.

 

Goldie arrived during lunch and Morty was born minutes ago!

Lucky and Sunshine are now big enough to go into the brooding box. Thanks to Stephanie and Syke for very delicately transferring them over.

What a fab day!

 

 

 

 

 

P5N took part in a live whatsapp video call today with some of our  friends at Mykashi Primary school, Tanzania. We spoke with the children from P6 as well as Sister Mary, the headteacher. Both classes were thrilled to speak with one another. This is a great step for our partnership!

 

Kathleen and Sophie from West Lothian Foodbank visited some of our classes today and spoke to us about their work. We really enjoyed hearing about the way donations are used to help people within West Lothian and also got the opportunity to ask some questions.

Please remember that our toiletries drive is currently in progress, all toiletry dontations are welcome and will be sent on to West Lothian Foodbank.

No change from yesterday, although a few children have reported hearing a few wee cheeps from inside the eggs.

As part of our school wide project on the Corporal Works of Mercy, our P5 classes have been learning about homelessness over the last few weeks. We have decided to turn our learning into action by raising money to support a homeless charity. We will be holding a bake sale on Friday 25th May. All classes will have an opportunity to come along and buy some of our tasty treats on the day. All the money raised will be donated to the children’s chosen charity, Shelter.

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I have sent a letter home with your child regarding a class trip to the Bennie Museum in Bathgate on  Tuesday 15th May.

Please send the permission slip in, along with the payment of £3, as soon as possible.

If you have any questions please get in touch.

Many thanks for your continued support,

 

Miss McLachlan
