We are currently trying to create a comics section in our school library. If you have any comics at home which you have read and are happy to recycle please bring them into school and we can add them to our collection. Remember, comics donated must be suitable for primary aged children.

P5 have visitor from MacMillan Cancer Support
Jayne Forbes came to visit Primary Five today. She works for MacMillan Cancer Support. She told us all about the fantastic support that the charity gives to families affected by Cancer. Last year they were in touch with and gave support to over 5 million people.
In Primary five we are gearing up to next weeks big event at the MacMillan Coffee Morning. We have sold out of tickets for the event with 220 tickets sold. On the day we will be selling MacMillan merchandise, cakes and hyacinth bulbs. You will also have the opportunity to take part in various competitions, including ‘Guess the Teacher’. You will get to find out what our teachers looked like as babies! Lets hope everything runs smoothly and we raise lots of money for a fantastic charity.
Introducing Primary 5a!? These are our facetionary self-portraits, which we created when we visited the Wonderful Williamston Woods. Do you recognise us?

International Group News
We loved our recent visit from Kirtida and Suprabha from India and enjoyed taking part in the special assemblies. They attended one of our meetings and we were able to ask them questions about their school and country. They brought lots of Fairtrade work from their pupils, which was wonderful to see, and we showed them some of our Fairtrade work too. They also talked us through the photos of India that their pupils took for the photo competition and we learned a lot about the country.
Thank you to all who entered our photo competition. We are looking forward to judging the photos soon.
We had a stall at the Spring Fayre, where we sold our Fairtrade recipe book and promoted Fairtrade. Thanks to all who ordered a copy.
Zahra and Isabel represented us at the recent Parent Council meeting, where they gave a report on our group’s activities this year. They made a PowerPoint presentation, wrote their script and presented confidently. Well done, girls!
We are busy working on updating our display boards – look out for our new displays soon!
Cycle to School Challenge
Primary 5, 6 and 7 will be taking part in an exciting Transport Scotland competition next week, Monday 1st June to Friday 5th June.
Children can help their class win the competition by cycling to school each day, if possible. The results will be collated at the end of the week and sent off to Transport Scotland. The winning class from the participating schools win a exciting cycle day trip!
Can we take this opportunity to remind the children that cycling in the lane at school is not safe as it can be very busy… therefore they should walk with their bike along the lane.
