Primary Schools’ Swimming Gala

Leave a comment

Ayrshire Schools Swimming Championship takes place on Sunday 6th November at The Citadel, Ayr. Warm-up 12.30pm, start 1.15pm

There are 4 individual events: 50m freestyle/ breaststroke/ fly/ backstroke.  Swimmers can enter up to 3 of these events and must enter through the school. We will cover the cost of entries. Depending on numbers we will also enter one or more relay teams. 

It is the school’s responsibility to ensure that the children who enter are strong enough swimmers, so we respectfully ask for entries from KASC (or other clubs) swimmers. Please note this takes place on a Sunday, so parents / carers will have responsibility for taking their child on the day.

If your child is able and would like to compete in the gala, please email Mrs Lawson with which events they would like to enter and any PB times for 50m in each stroke by Friday 28th October.

All of our classes have been enjoying learning about Scotland throughout January.

All classes had the pleasure of taking part in a full school virtual celebration of Scottish poetry and songs.

We hope you enjoy the fantastic contributions made by pupils from all across the school.

P 4 – 7 Orienteering After School Club

3 Comments

Mr Smith and Mrs Mackie will be running an after school orienteering Club  for primaries 4 – 7 , on Tuesday 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st of March from 3.15pm to 4.15pm.

This is for pupils who are interested in attending the orienteering training evenings in April and May and also wish to be entered into the orienteering festival.  Gargieston has always done very well at orienteering events and we would love to maintain this.  We would love to see some new faces coming along to the club as well as pupils who have been before.

Christmas Fayre Final Total

Leave a comment

I am delighted to tell you that, following the further sale of raffle tickets at the Infant and ECC Nativities, the official final amount of money raised from the Christmas Fayre is the fabulous total of £4250.41. Thanks you so much to everyone whose efforts contributed to this – parents, pupils, grandparents and school and ECC staff. This money will allow us to purchase additional resources within the school and ECC to enhance the learning and teaching for all our children. Thank you all so much.

Due to many children going straight home tomorrow to prepare for Hallowe’en, the Netball Club has been cancelled for this one night. Training will resume as normal next week.

Many thanks and apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
