Reverse Advent Calendar
Primary 7 are organising a reverse advent calendar for the food bank. We would love the ECC and School to take part.
During the month of December, we are asking your child to bring in one non-perishable food item to give to Ayrshire East Food Bank. Every child will receive a number and this will correspond with a date up to the 18th of December. Therefore, if they are number one they will bring their item on the 1st of December and so on. If their number falls on a Saturday they will bring it on a Friday and on a Sunday they will bring it on a Monday. Your child will receive their number as soon as possible.
We would really appreciate your help with this as we know some families will be struggling over Christmas time.
Thank you for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Kyle Chambers and Jamie Hodkinson
(On behalf of Primary 7).

Active Schools Co-ordinators
For the last 3 weeks Gary Seymour and Kirsty Millar from Active Schools have been working in the playground with Base 3 classes delivering fitness lessons through dance and games, all within the current guidelines to keep everyone safe. These morning exercises have had such a positive impact on the children’s work for the rest of the day!
From Monday they will be moving to start a new block with the classes in Base 2. Could we ask that all the children in these classes come prepared every day with a waterproof jacket and suitable footwear, as they will be going outside for these activities?
Many thanks
Remembrance Day
The children in the ECC have been making Poppies this week to mark Remembrance Day. They also took part in the minute silence today at 11 o’clock.
