Families,

Our school is proud to support East Ayrshire’s Clean Green initiative, winning our Bronze Award last year for our contribution to climate change. We enjoyed lessons based on Energy, Transport, Waste and our Natural Environment. Now on our journey for Silver, we join our wider community and local schools on a united ‘Mission to the Moon’.

So, what does this mean? 

We have been challenged to walk/scoot/cycle the 238,855 miles from Earth to the Moon as part of EA’s Active Travel initiative.

How can I #GetInvolved?

As a family, think about how you travel to and from school. Could you start:

1. Walking/cycling/scooting instead?
2. ‘Park & Stride’ – drive part of your journey and walk the rest?
3. Get your miles in at the weekend with family if you have to get public transport to school?

How do I log my progress?

We have made a simple form for you to keep track of your progress. Simply complete it at the end of every week and submit to the school. Your family can log their progress too!

Do I HAVE to participate? 

Joining our Mission to the Moon is voluntary and not required. We believe this initiative will help promote active travel to/from school and want to be the first school to land on the Moon. Help us and become more active along the way! You could also send your family walking selfies to Mr Swan 🙂

HELP US GET  OUR SILVER AWARD AND LAND ON THE MOON!

Families,

Our partnership with Ayrshire College continues to grow and as we kick start session 22/23 we are excited to add more sugar and spice for our community.

We now need YOUR HELP to shape the opportunities.

The College are planning a 6-8 week early evening, budget cooking training course where parents/carers can cook in a professional kitchen environment and learn from chefs/student developing cooking skills for the full family. Families will take their meals home, as well as the recipes and boxes of ingredients.

But what will your children do?

Panic not, the sport staff/students will take your children for the duration of the session and lead active, fitness activities.

This sounds great, but what is the price? TOTALLY FREE! 

If you would like more information please complete the short form below by Wed 5 Sept 5pm.

Ready? Steady? COOK!

Happy  Friday Families!

What a great first week back our whole school has shared together!

We would like to provide some information on how we will ensure Scotland’s Anti-Bullying ‘Respect Me’ ethos of safety and respectful relationships will be shared across our whole school community.

On Tuesday, Mr Swan our new Home Link Worker will be delivering a Respect Me assembly for the full school, after which interactive lessons will take place in classes. We will be appointing Respect Me Pupil Ambassadors who will meet regularly with Mr Swan to create our own school mission statement and take ownership for helping all young people to feel safe, happy, included and respected.

However, Mr Swan also needs YOU, our parents/carers!

If you would like to join our Respect Me Parent/Carer Ambassadors Group please complete the short form below by Fri 2 Sept. This will be an opportunity to chat, learn how our families can be supported by Respect Me and the school, challenge perceptions and ensure safety and respect are at the heart of our community. Mr Swan will also provide biscuits!!

Together we can be the best we can be.

Have a great weekend!
