While the children have been working hard with Mrs Taylor & Mrs Waugh to raise funds for the school they have also had a focus on reaching out to help others.

They have succeeded in engaging the whole to school to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind.  The total collected in 5p coins was £545.55.

On Wednesday 14th June Mrs Waugh & Ms McCulloch will take  a group of 12 children to Edinburgh as Loanhead Primary School has been invited to the First Minister’s Reading Challenge Celebration.  The school has actively participated in this incentive to encourage children to read more and thus raise attainment.  We are thrilled to be have received this invitation!

Many children have enthusiastically participated in Loanhead Primary School Connect 4 Reading Challenge and in the First Minister’s Reading Challenge but unfortunately could not attend the event in Edinburgh.  To celebrate their achievement a ‘Book Bash’ has been organised and children who have achieved their personal target will be invited to the event on Thursday 15th June 2017 at 3-4pm.  The theme is ‘Reading is Magic’.

We are delighted that the staff and children have embraced this programme as we endeavour to raise attainment in literacy.

We look forward to welcoming our new P1 pupils for their induction days this week as well as wishing our P7 pupils a great time at their 3 day induction at Kilmarnock Academy.

Please note that due to the General Election the school will be closed this Thursday, 8th June.
