The Primary 7s thoroughly enjoyed a Science Fair Transition event at Grange Academy this week. They met staff, saw inside the Science Department and enjoyed listening to some visitors such as staff from The Science Centre. Thanks very much to Mrs Ferguson and all the teachers for organising this memorable day.

Well done to everyone who managed to come along to Fullarton Woods last night.  It was lovely to see you.

It would be great to see a few more faces, particularly in Primary 4 and 5.  Gargieston has traditionally had a very good representation and it would be fantastic to see this continue.

The next evening session is on Thursday 25th April at The Kay Park Kilmarnock.   Starting at 6pm.

It would be really good if  Primary 4 and 5 pupils had a partner they could run with, at the competition they are only allowed to run in pairs not trios.

I am aware that there is a clash of dates with orienteering and various events.  If the children could attend as many of the sessions as they able, as being in Primary 7 they have 3 years experience of the courses.  Practise is still very important to help them achieve success in the competitions.

Thank you.

We are now offering play at home sessions to parents of ECC children. The first session is based on play dough, so if you would like to attend this workshop with your child, learn to make play dough and get some ideas of the benefits it has for your child please add your name to the list on the communication board in the cloak room.

The first session will be on Thursday 25th April at 9am and 1pm

Icycle training is cancelled next week due to Parents night appointments.

Once again, can we respectfully ask people not to use the disabled parking spaces near the school doors? These must be kept for those who have blue badges. Sitting on the roundabout where there are double yellow lines and cones as well as no parking signs, is not appropriate either.

Many thanks.

Orienteering evening training begins this week.  The first session is at Fullarton  Woods in Troon and starts at 6pm.  The cost is £2 per child.  It is recommended that the children run in pairs.   Please try to attend as many of the sessions as possible, at least 3, as the children need the map skills learned on these evenings to help them in the competition.

I will try to attend some of these events too.
