…Yes! So local artist Gemma Coyle came along and worked with pupils from P4, P5 & P6 and that’s exactly what they did.

The children and Gemma spent time together brainstorming ideas to create our wonderful mural design.  It features special landmarks from across Kilmarnock with our school being the centre piece as well as a tree to symbolise growth and development within our school.  I’m sure everyone will agree that our children have created a truly amazing masterpiece in both the design and the actual painting of the mural.  Well done to everyone involved.

Please note details for collecting children at the school after our afternoon at the Panto…

The children of P5 are getting ready to welcome guests to their St Andrew’s Day of Celebration.  The halls have been filled with the sound of Scottish music as they get ready to showcase their fantastic Scottish dancing talents.

As children are moving around the school in the time leading up to the assembly it would be appreciated if guests could wait outside the school building prior to being welcomed into the school from 1.20/1.25pm.  Assembly will start at 1.30pm.

A huge thank you to all of the children who participated in our recent Children in Need activity.  By dressing up or dressing down and making a donation for taking part, the children raised a fantastic £170.05.  Many thanks for your ongoing support with the schools fundraising activities.

The children of P4/3 are working very hard getting ready for their class assembly and are excited to welcome their guests to come along and watch them perform.  Assembly starts at 9.30am and as children are moving around the school preparing to attend assembly we ask that guests wait patiently outside the school building until the children are ready to welcome you to join them at approximately 9.20/9.25am.

If your child is participating in the assembly then can we ask that you please check their homework diary for messages from their teacher.  Unless otherwise advised in their diary, can children please dress in normal clothes in order to appear as village people.  Children can come to school dressed for their part with school clothes to change into after the assembly if you wish.

Mrs McGeoch is delighted with the effort and enterprising junk modelling activity that the children have completed and is looking forward to welcoming you to this event.

Next Event: Christmas Raffle.

Raffle ticket envelopes will be sent home with the children.  The envelope will contain 5 strips of tickets totalling £5.
If you wish to buy, please buy in full strips (£1 each) tear off half and keep, then enclose the money with the other half of the strip.  It’s important that your child’s name and class is written clearly on the back of the strip being returned to the school.   Raffle ticket envelopes will be sent home by 5th December and must be returned back to the school by Wednesday 16th December.    If you have any items you would like to donate towards the raffle, chocolates, new unwanted gifts or toys please drop them into the school office.
