Christmas Fayre Thank You !

Leave a comment

A HUGE thank you to all the parents, grandparents and family members from the school and ECC who attended our Christmas Fayre !

Thanks also  to those who donated raffle prizes, tombola gifts, bottles and baking – we were overwhelmed by your generosity!!

Very special mention goes to the parents and grandparents who volunteered their time to help set up the Fayre on Thursday after school  and all those parents who helped to man the stalls on the day of the Fayre.  We definitely couldn’t have done it without you!!!

The total raised at present is somewhere around £4000 – a fabulous total which is far beyond our expectation, which will help to support the learning of all our pupils, particularly through IT.

***

            There is still the opportunity to purchase tickets for the following

The grand raffle – 50p per ticket

Food hamper raffle – 50p per ticket

The scooter raffles – 50p per ticket

Guess my birthday – £1

Please send appropriate money in an envelope with your name, your child’s name and class, total amount in envelope  and information about which raffle and how many tickets you require. Pupils will organise this and tickets will be sent home.

      Well done to Lucy (P4), Sam (P2) and Danny’s (ECC) gran, Mrs. Lennox  who won the cake by correctly guessing its weight.

Jamie Ryan, (P1/2) who guessed there was 165 marshmallows in the jar.

                Callum Kerr(P6) who guessed the number of the magic square.

Thank you all once again!

P7 at Grange Concert

Leave a comment

Just a reminder to all P7 children…

Last Monday Mr Ramsay, Principal Teacher of Performing Arts at Grange Academy, gave out letters to the P7 children about their participation in the Grange Education Group Christmas Concert. It is on the evening of Wednesday 20th December at Grange. All children have received a letter.

This is a great opportunity to sing in a large choir with their future classmates from Annanhill, Crosshouse, Hillhead and Shortlees in a Transition event.

Could the children please return their letters as soon as possible to give Grange our numbers attending? Many thanks.

Song of the week…

Leave a comment

This weeks song is Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. We will be singing this within the ECC. Please sing this with your child at home and try out the Makaton. Singing aids your child’s knowledge of  how language is construction and aids with language acquisition. This is why it’s important to regularly sing to or with your child.

If Makaton is something you are interested in and have been implementing with your child please have a look on facebook for Makaton Ayrshire. This facebook page posts information in regards to communication, up and coming courses and a variety of signs. At the moment they are doing an advent of Makaton where a video is posted daily of different Christmas signs.  Please see the facebook page for a video of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (Look out for Miss Clark in the video) or here below is a link from you tube which demonstrates the Makaton.
