We are going to create a water wall for the children in the ECC to explore during outdoor learning. We are looking for donations of plastic pipe, an old tap, water spinners and a large piece of marine ply wood to fix these onto. If anyone could help us with donating any of these items we would be very grateful. Please speak to Mrs Hendrie or Miss Gray if you can help with this.

We had an exciting start to the day as the first East Ayrshire school to host the Scottish Cup on its tour.  Our football teams were desperate to get their hands on the cup!! Many thanks to Mr Hay for organising this great experience for our children.

We hope that you have all enjoyed your week off school.  Hopefully the children have all been out enjoying the good weather.

The staff have been very busy over the past 3 days sharing information and making progress with:

• Our school improvement plan
• New EAC reporting formats
• Self evaluation
• STEM
• Coding
• Moderation with the Grange Education Group
• GIRFEC and the ASN agenda

And we also enjoyed a visit from Mr Smith, a lovely buffet lunch from Mrs Patton and a baby shower for Mrs Kerr.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday 18th February at 9am.

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

Could all P6s interested in taking part in cycling proficiency please bring in their bikes on Friday 22nd February. Staff from Ayrshire Roads Alliance are coming along to check the bikes before training commences towards the end of March.

Well done to all our pupils who learned their Scottish poetry and Base songs. Thanks also to Mr. McDowell and some of the guitar elective pupils who accompanied the Base 4 song.  Well done to all!!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our McCoo statue naming competition. We held the draw this afternoon. Now, I don’t know what the odds of this happening are. But, Ruaridh picked the name RUARIDH MCCOO out the hat! So there we have it our McCoo has got a name. All we need is for Steven Brown to add our McCoo to his clan. Fingers crossed.

Well done to Annie McDowell, P4, who received her wider achievement certificate today for her achievement in gymnastics.

Congratulations to our Superstars who received their certificates at assembly on Monday.

Well done to all our children who shared their Wider Achievements with us at assembly.  What a lot of talented children we have!
