New Primary 1 Pupils – First Week Arrangements

We are looking forward to welcoming our new P1 pupils on Monday!

First Day At School – Monday 21st August 2023

On Monday 21st August the children will have their first day at school. On this day, children will come to school at 9:30am.

We ask that a maximum of 2 adults per child attend on the first day. Please feel free to take photographs in the school playground but parents/carers won’t be allowed in the classrooms. First day photographs from the class will be taken by the teacher and will be sent home at the end of the first week.

Children should line up outside their classroom door in the playground and the teacher will greet the children and lead them into their classroom. It is helpful if a parent/carer brings the children into the playground to line up with their class on the first day. They should stand away from the line and wave as the children go in with their teacher as we encourage independence in our playground and lines.

On the first day, the children should be collected from school at 2:30pm. Classes will be dismissed into the playground from their classroom door.

 

Tuesday 22nd August 2023 & Wednesday 23rd August 2023

On the second and third day of Primary 1, all children will come to school at 9:30am and should be collected at 2:30pm. Classes will enter and exit the class as on Day 1.

 

Arrangements from Thursday 24th August 2023

From Thursday 24th August, pupils in Primary 1 will will be in school from 8:50am – 2:50pm. Children should line up outside their classroom door each morning in the playground and will be collected by their teacher. Classes will be dismissed from their classroom door at 2:50pm.

Join Our Mission to the Moon! #GetInvolved

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!
