New School Dinner System

Leave a comment

Dear Parent/Carer
From Tuesday 22nd April 2025 East Ayrshire  are introducing a new Cashless Catering system in our school.
The new ordering system is aimed to make the process quicker for your child at lunchtime and by ordering in advance will help Catering Services reach climate change targets by reducing food waste.
ALL meals will be ordered by parents through ParentPay, using your existing Parentpay login. We have a number of parents who use a barcode letter to pay for items and have not activated their online ParentPay account. Activation letters will be issued to pupils in this position today and parents MUST activate their account to pre-order meals before we return on 22nd April.
Please see the attached letter for information and instructions on how to order your child’s meals. If you require any further information please contact the school office.
Thank you for your continued support

P6 Bikeability

Leave a comment
Mrs Fairbairn has now completed a Bikeability Instructor training course with Cycling Scotland. We are hoping to run Level 1 for our P6 year group in Term 4 when the better weather arrives. Within Level 1 – Riders learn how to prepare for a journey, check their bike and equipment are safe, and develop control skills, good observations and decision making. They also learn the importance of sharing space responsibly with other people. Training is completed in a traffic free setting.
As the ratio of adults to learners is set at a strict 1:15 for rider safety we would like to gauge interest in such a course to allow us to timetable sessions in the playground to accommodate P6 cyclists.
Please read the attached parents guide to become familiar with the course content and complete the questionnaire by following the link below below. https://cycling.scot/media/d4bp0dfl/2024-07-03-parent-s-guide.pdf

Road Safety Magic!

Leave a comment

Primary 1 – 5 all had a magical time at Alans Magic Road Safety show today.  They gained their Official Magician’s Assistant certificates by knowing and demonstrating the road safety rules. Alan the magician showed us lots of magic while reminding us how to be safe when crossing the road.  Ask the children from P1 to P5 to tell you about what they learned.
