ood evening everyone and I hope you are all well.

We have been working incredibly hard with our amazing school and ECC staff, New Schools Team. architect and contractor in moving into our fabulous building.  We are really looking forward to seeing all of the children back tomorrow.

There are a few practicalities that we would like to go over.

There will be supervising staff in the playground from 8:45a.m. and we would appreciate it if the children would enter the playground after this time by themselves due to the covid restrictions.  Staff will be in place to receive the children and direct them to where they need to go.  Primary One children will be lining up at the ramp between the ECC and the school building.  The best entrance for all children is from Dick Road as they will be lining up on that side of the school.  All pupils will be able to line up in front of their teacher, for this week until they become used to the arrangements.  Children attending Peace will come to the lines from the Peace building (old dining hall).  Unfortunately we must request that in line with mitigations for Covid no parent/carers are permitted in the playground and we would be very appreciative of everyone following this ruling.

Due to the final checks and imminent sign off for the kitchen appliances only sandwich lunches will be available for the next three days.  Sandwich choices are cheese, ham or tuna, and fruit, water, milk, yogurt will also be added to these meals.  A new full menu will begin on Monday 26th April starting on week two.

I hope you are all excited and ready to return to school tomorrow.

KInd regards
Amanda Milne
Head Teacher

There are a number of Spring Activities within Kilmarnock for the break.  These are being held at Wattriggs, Shortlees, James Hamilton and Onthank. See the details on the previous post.

We hope everyone enjoyed remote learning and our EAC virtual classroom via Thinglink today. Our live sessions were brilliant and everyone engaged amazingly. We would like to apologise that the Family engagement session didn’t happen due to last minute technical glitches, we’ve managed to rearrange this for the 19th April and look forward to seeing you there.

Tomorrow’s thinglinks are below.

P1 –      https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1433499831388602370

Access, like today, for the live sessions is via the link within the Thinglink (for laptops) or by the Vscene App ( for tablets- codes in the Thinglink). The pincode for each stage remains the same, the family session as this is for all pupils doesn’t require a pincode.

if you require any help or would like to share work, please use the forms within the Thinglinks or email: eavirtualclassroom_support@eastayrshire.org.uk

We hope you have a great holiday when it comes.
