Well done to all the children who received awards at Friday’s assembly. Our P1-3 Starwriters were Harrison McColl, Callie Parker, Emily Steven, Charley Lightbody, Ava Rose and Chloe Allison. The P4-7 Maths award winners were Darcey Crawford, Anna Klein, Lucy Lennox, Poppy Alexander, Charlie MacKay and Aimee Dorrans. A gold card was awarded to Alistair Johnston, P7, for his willingness to be the goalie throughout the entire day at the “Beat the Goalie” station of our Sponsored Event on Tuesday. He managed to save lots of attempts on goal but, unfortunately, was unable to stop a supreme effort from Aaron Simpson, the Kilmarnock FC player who came along to meet us on Tuesday afternoon. Well done, Alistair and well done to all of our award winners!!

All the photos will be printed and everyone can look out for the new display going up in the school in the next week or so. What a talented school we have! Perhaps we could do this every term next session…

Is your child not talking yet?
Here is a helpful page on Facebook where the Speech and Language Therapists put up helpful tips on prompting your child’s communication skills.
Communication board top tip
04 April give your child a reason to talk
(Please click on the link above)
Our top tip focuses on providing a variety of opportunities to encourage interaction with your child whether it’s through gesture or speech. This will heavily aid your child’s overall communication tips and can be incorporated into your everyday routine.
Nursery Rhyme of the week is back :)
Our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Incy Wincy spider. Please try this at home pointing out the rhyming words to your child. Miss Clark is tracking the children’s knowledge of each rhyme before we focus on it in partnership with parents/carers and afterwards and I will share this data with you in the next few weeks.
