Anti Bullying Week – 13th Nov
Just wanted to let you see the Parent Toolkit for Anti bullying week.
Here is our October Update from Mrs Johnstone
A few important dates for the run up to Christmas
23/8/23 Good morning and a warm welcome Back to School.
We have been so proud of the way the children have come back to school and they are so smart in their uniforms. With the new equipment, clothing, bottle and packed lunches, can I remind you that it is essential that everything is labelled with your child’s name. We have already collected jumpers, jackets, cardigans, water bottle, packed lunch bags and bobbles in lost property. It is an extremely large pile with no names on the items. We want to make sure we try to reduce costs for all our families this year and by ensuring things have names on them is a goal we all need to keep.
School Update 10/3/23
We have had a very busy week this week. We started off with our Learning Visit from the local authority Inspection Team. Initial feedback has been very positive. We are delighted we were able to showcase the amazing children we have. The teachers, staff and parents were all able to show off a very positive view of the learning and teaching in our school. I want to thank everyone who made this visit such a success and we welcome the feedback from the inspection team so we can shape our next steps in our improvement journey.
Following our inspection we have had some feedback regarding communication and more face to face opportunities for parents to be in school. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the session, we couldn’t start up a lot of these activities but we absolutely have that as a focus moving forward. Another point raised was afterschool activities. If any parents or carers, would be willing in helping with an afterschool club or activity please get in touch.
Our cash for kids activities are in full flow. We are amazed by some of the very creative ideas that our children have come up with. They are so excited to be raising money, not only for our school but also children across Ayrshire who face extremely difficult circumstances. Please join in the fun with our scavenger hunt. A family event that could help you get your steps up this weekend! Please also visit Tesco this weekend as we have some of our Primary 7s collecting for Cash for Kids.
We are all busy working on our children’s progress reports. We are seeing the hard work the children have done this year is paying off. They will be issued on Friday 24th of March. Our Parent’s evening will not be as restricted this time either. We will have work on display in the classrooms, teacher meetings in the assembly hall and the opportunity to see some of the work of the improvement plan set up in the street area.
At the end of a busy week, have a lovely weekend!
Cost of Living Support
As part of East Ayrshire Council cost of living support we are able to offer toast in the morning for some of our children. This will be on a first come, first served basis. It is a grab and go option and so far the children have been really enjoying the opportunity to have a slice of hot buttered toast each morning. It is very popular! However, if you are facing any difficulties with ensuring your child has a breakfast, please let the school know as we can access extra provision for anyone who is finding this difficult.
We also have a basket of fruit outside the sunflower room for anyone who would prefer an apple, orange or pear. This can also be accessed for a healthy snack.
If you required any further support please let the school know via the main email address.
