Dyslexia Gold Award
Before the holidays we received a visit from a panel to assess whether or not we were working well enough to maintain our Dyslexia Gold Award status and to ensure we were progressing even further with our work. After a tour of the school, they had discussions with Mrs Campbell and Mrs Lawson and looked closely at all we have done.
We are now delighted to confirm that we have maintained our Gold status- something the whole school is extremely proud of.
Thank you to everyone for all their hard work!

Mrs Lawson
East Ayrshire Libraries are delighted to be working in collaboration with the SPFL Trust and Kilmarnock Football club to bring the 4-4-2 Reading Challenge to local children.
As a reward for reading and using the library we are offering free tickets to Kilmarnock home games.
All that primary aged children need to do is borrow 4 books from the library (on their own card, not a group card) and when they return the fourth book they get a card stamped which they take to Rugby Park to exchange for 1 free child ticket and 1 discounted adult ticket on selected home games. The challenge runs until the end of May but completed vouchers can be redeemed until the end of October.

Well done, Jessica!! Here she is being presented with her prize from Claire and Katie from Ashleigh Construction.
Primary 3 at Dance Fest
Huge congratulations to the group of Primary 3 children who performed in The Grand Hall at Dance Fest this week. They had rehearsed hard and their enthusiasm was clear for all to see during their performance. So proud of you all! A big thank you to Emma Dickson in Primary 7 who helped train the group and was with them every step of the way on the night doing everything from their make-up and hair, to calming their nerves.
