First squat then see if you can get down nice and low then bring hands together in the centre 🙂
Yoga Pose of the Day
Good morning guys! We’re half way through our home learning week, keep working hard 😀 Todays pose is:
‘Downward dog pose’.
I love this one for a good stretch after a workout! Look forward to seeing you try it out 🙂
The History of Our School
For anyone who enjoys history – in particular local history, why not take time to read over our School History drop down on the home page.
The original Gargieston building opened in 1975 to replace Grammar School which was located in the Sheriff Court car park area at the end of Dundonald Road. The school badge with KGS intertwined, Kilmarnock Grammar School, was retained.
There are many photographs in this section – some from over 100 years ago. Why not have a look? Perhaps this could prompt discussions with grandparents about schooling in their time and how different things have become – especially now with our use of ICT!
I’d love to hear from the children about their findings and if any relatives have old photos of Grammar, I’d be delighted to add them to our pages!

Yoga Pose of The Day
Good morning yogis 🙂 Lots of really strong plank poses yesterday, well done! Todays pose is the:
‘Flower pose’.
Sitting upright, lift your legs and weave your hands underneath your legs around your calf’s. See if you can hold it there for a few seconds and imagine you are a beautiful flower. What flower would you like to be?
Staff quiz!
Tonight some of the staff came together to flex their intellectual muscles in a quiz run by Mr Smith. Well done to Mrs Mackie who was the overall winner! We won’t post who was last!!! 🤔🤔
