Kilmarnock Cricket Club lessons
Over the past few years, Gargieston has been very fortunate to have had coaching sessions from Mark Colman for the children in Base 4. The children have benefitted greatly from his expertise in passing on his skills and enthusiasm for the game. We have even had success in competitions thanks to his input.
Mark also runs sessions directly through the Club and would invite interest from children in joining him in their evening sessions at the Scott Ellis Playing Fields. Please see below for further details and contact numbers.
An Easter Message
As we head off for our Easter holidays Rev McNaughtan, our school chaplain, has recorded a special message for us. We hope you enjoy listening to his message and that you all have a wonderful holiday.

Who Is Your Hospital Hero?
Why not show your support for our NHS by downloading the colouring sheet below and making a donation through the Just Giving link on the sheet? All money raised will go to Crosshouse Children’s Fund. As this is being run by Morrisons in Kilmarnock, all the completed sheets will be displayed in their store.
Please return all sheets to the school for collection by Thursday 1st April. Have fun!

Calling all artists…!
Do you want your drawing to be famous? Here’s how to get involved!
The charity Shelter, houses homeless and struggling families. They also do lots of volunteer work by giving out Christmas dinners, food and blankets. They have been struggling this year as they haven’t had many donations. I would like to raise some money to help the charity buy the necessary items.
They are holding a Christmas Card Competition and the winning drawing will be on the Christmas cards they will sell next year. By donating £1 on ParentPay we will give you the template to draw on and full details of the competition.
I would be grateful if as many of you as possible could get involved to raise money for, and awareness of, this hard-working charity.
Many thanks
Freya Lee (p.7)
St Andrew’s Day
