Parents Getting Involved in Numeracy Afternoon
More fun, games and active learning at our second Numeracy games afternoon.
Please click on the title and leave a comment if you joined us for ‘Getting Involved in Numeracy’ .
Here are a few photographs from our first whole school Numeracy games session where we invited parents to join in the fun.
Primary 3 Cars Activity
15.03.18 Model Cars – Both Primary 3 classes will be creating their model cars next week in class on Tuesday the 20th and Wednesday the 21st March. We need children to bring in empty shoe boxes with detachable lids only. Unfortunately the ones with the lids attached do not work for this activity. We are also looking for parent helpers on Tuesday at 9.30am – 10.30am and on Wednesday at 11am – 12.30pm. If you can help then please pop a note in the yellow book to let us know.
Thanks again for your continued support, Mrs Baird and Miss Caldow

I will pass on to you any further information if I get it. Mrs. McLaughland
Euroquiz
A team of Primary 6 pupils attended the Euroquiz, which was held at Lainshaw Primary School this year. Onthank were the winners, but our team did well and were a credit to the school. Some tricky questions- get studying now Primary 5!

Do You Know Your Rights?
As a part of our hard work on Rights Respecting Schools we have now covered many of the United Nation ‘rights’ in school. We are currently working towards achieving our silver award! Why not share your learning at home or ask your parents to discuss some of the rights we have yet to learn?
Attached below is a copy of the ‘Child Friendly Rights’ – hi-lighted in yellow are the rights we have covered in school. Now let’s try to learn EVERY right!
New books…
Primary 7 recently received a generous Amazon voucher from Kilmarnock District History Group as a thank you for the class performance at one of their meetings. The children put on an extra showing of their WW2 local history play to all the group members one night in Kilmarnock College where they meet.
The class decided that it would be very appropriate to buy local history books for the upper school to use. We would like to thank the group once again for their kind gesture.
P2C Global Citizenship
P2C have been particularly engaged in their learning around issues relating to the use od nonbiodegradable plastics as part of Global Citizenship this week. Have a look at the movie we made declaring what we are going to do to make a difference to our world. Excuse the long faces but we aren’t happy about this current issue.
We still have lots more ideas to help tackle the problem. Watch this space.
