It was lovely to see our choir entertaining the Christmas shoppers at The Cross on Christmas Eve. Along with a pipe band and members of the Royal Legion, they brought festive spirit to the town centre. Thank you to all the singers and parents who came along and to Mr Hay for all the preparation leading up to the event.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Our choir entertained a full house at the Howard Centre on Sunday evening as they joined Kilmarnock Concert Brass for their Christmas Concert.
The choir delighted the audience with 6 songs and then also joined the brass band singing ‘Away in a Manager’ and ‘Starry Night’.
They were absolutely amazing! Well done to everyone who came along.
Some of our choir members became percussionists for the finale and Emma became the conductor!
I hope you enjoy listening to the videos. We all came away feeling very festive.
What a great result for Kilmarnock FC and lots of us were there to see it! Thanks so much to Paul Di Giacomo and Kilmarnock FC for the tickets.
Here’s Mario and Eric Braga Marchena enjoying their visit.
Lucas Bone loved his visit to Rugby Park.
Farrah and Fearne Sharpe loved their first visit to Rugby Park!
Having a great time….
Brooke and Kerr Handy took time to look at the brick placed in memory of their Great, Great Uncle Norman.
Chloe Allison went along with her Dad, Gran and Papa.
As another Remembrance Day comes to a close, we would like to say well done to all the children who observed the silence at 11 o’clock this morning. This afternoon at assembly, the whole school also watched a short video about some of the work Poppy Scotland does.
Finally, we would like to share this lovely photograph of Freya with Mr McMaster from the Royal Legion just before the parade yesterday morning.
Gargieston had the honour of being represented in the annual Remembrance Day parade at the Cenotaph this morning.
Freya Lee, who impressed visitors from The Royal Legion at an assembly recently with her fundraising, was invited to join them and lay a wreath on behalf of East Ayrshire Schools.
Thank you so much to Freya for representing Gargieston so well, in what was a very emotional service. She wrote a very fitting message on the card from everyone in the school.
It was also lovely to see so many other Gargieston children in the parade with their organisations.
Hopefully everyone is having a lovely summer despite the unusual weather of sunshine and downpours we have been experiencing!
Perhaps this would be a good time for the children to think of others within their Learning Community. I’m sure everyone has heard the sad stories of the Shortlees residents who have lost so much in the recent flooding. I have been down to the food bank myself where I spoke to the volunteers. They would be very grateful for any donations, not just of food but of children’s clothing or toys, or indeed anything you may no longer need or use.
All donations, which would be gratefully received, can be taken directly to ‘Our Wee Shop’ in Shortlees just off Central Avenue across from the school.

Thank you so much to 3 of our Dads who not only thought to enter Roon The Toon as Team Gargie, but to actually win the best team prize. Mr Abercrombie, Mr Hamilton and Mr Evans – you did yourselves and Gargieston proud!
