P6/P7 East Ayrshire Cross Country Event
East Ayrshire Primary Schools Cross Country 2024
We have been invited to participate in the East Ayrshire Primary Schools Cross Country 2024 event in November (subject to securing transport). As part of this process we will be holding heats with all P6 and P7 pupils on Friday the 11th October and Tuesday 22nd October.
Can we ask that all children come to school with a full change of clothes in their bag to use for the cross country heats in the field. The heats will take place regardless of weather and/or condition of the field so children may get wet or dirty (please keep this in mind when packing their change of clothes and shoes for these dates). Further updates will be posted in due course.

P7 Bikeability Level 2
Cycling Scotland Bikeability 2
Primary 7 successfully completed level 2 bikeability after 5 days of cycling over the last month. Thanks again to Lynsey Murphy our Active Schools Coordinator for helping Mrs Ross to deliver these sessions on the roads in Fenwick
Bikeability Level 2 takes place on single lane roads with simple junctions and moderate traffic, after a rider has successfully demonstrated level 1 skills. Riders learn to make good and frequent observations, communicate their intentions clearly to other road users, decide on and use the most suitable riding position, understand priorities on a road and make decisions about when people wait and when people go.
P7 Leadership Training
P7 Leadership Training
Today we took part in a day of training to support us to become leaders across the school.
Blair came and share his knowledge of tennis coaching with us and we learned what makes a good leader, how to be a good leader and to reflect on the difficulties of being an effective leader.
We had lots of fun practising these skills in the classroom and in the gym hall.
Our next step is to put these skills to use and deliver some tennis lessons across the school.
P7 Paired Reading
Paired Reading with our P1 Buddies

1. Demonstrate understanding of safety equipment and clothing
2. Carry out a simple bike check
3. Get on and off the bike without help
4. Start off and pedal without help
5. Stop without help
6. Ride along without help for roughly one minute or more
7. Make the bike go where they want
8. Use gears (where present)
9. Stop quickly with control
10.Manoeuvre safely to avoid objects
11.Look all around, including behind, without loss of control
12.Control the bike with one hand
We all showed excellent confidence and completed all the outcomes and were delighted to receive our Bikeability Level 1 Certificates.
P7 Visit from PC Rae
PC Rae Visit
Today we enjoyed a visit from our new Campus Cop, PC Rae.
She spoke to us about the importance of staying safe when using social media and accessing the internet.
We learned about the importance of staying safe when uploading photos, asking permission, age restrictions for social media sites and different online games and what to do if we need to report any inappropriate content.
P7 House Captain Elections
House Captain Elections
We worked really hard to write inspirational and motivating speeches to persuade our House Peers to vote for us as House Captains and Vice Captains.
This was a very nerve racking experience and we developed our confidence and resilience to complete this task. All the adults in the school were very impressed with how well written everyone’s speeches were and how confident they were talking in front of their peers.
Although we had some disappointment in the class, everyone dealt with this very well and were supportive of each other and celebrated each others success.
A great learning experience for all the Primary 7s.
Mr Houston then presented the House Captains and Vice Captains badges at the Award Assembly.
Well done to:
Dunlop : Harriet, Scarlett
Fowlds: Norah, Elvie
Howie: Kade, Gracie
Fulton : Murray and Amelia
