Today, we’ve did our class assembly.  It was very entertaining and we were lucky to have Lorna Sloan from the John Muir Trust to watch our assembly.  We all had an amazing time.  Lorna gave us certificates at the end.

Well done Joe Dow. Maths Millionaire! Some very challenging questions on the way. It took a few attempts but he got there in the end.

School and ECC will close on Friday 29th March at 2.30pm.

Gatehead pupils will be collected at 2pm.

……………

We will re-open again on Monday 15th

We will also be closed on Good Friday (19th) and Easter Monday (22nd April)

Well done to the school football team today. They beat Troon Primary 5-2 in The Ayrshire Cup and now go through to the quarter finals. Thanks very much to Mr Hay and Mr Darnbrough for organising the boys in Mr Smith’s absence.

The pupil council have been looking at our playground. They would like more things to do at break and lunch so have decided to add some loose parts to our playground. This will be for primary 1-3 to start with while we build resources. If you have any spare parts at home or have any links with building companies etc. please let me know. Here is a small list of possible things you could donate:

• Leaves
• Pine cones
• Wood (all sizes)
• Pipes
• Crates
• Pegs
• Shells
• Stones
• Tyres

Cycling proficiency training begins Thursday 27th March 3.30-4.30.

This afternoon, P6A went outside and planted some trees.  We had to put the tree in a hole then we stood on the hole and then they were planted.

We are delighted to inform you that one of our eggs in the ECC hatched last night! Meet “Popcorn”.

We have had a jacket handed in that was left behind at last weeks disco.

The child that brought it back has lost her jacket and we are hoping there has been a mix up.

If the jacket in the photo belongs to you , please contact the office.

If you have accidentally taken the wrong jacket last week , please return to the school office.

Thank you.
