Electricity safety is an important message that many families may not always be aware of, yet it plays a crucial role in keeping children and communities safe. By helping us share this information, you are supporting the protection of our children and their families from potential electrical hazards in and around the home.

Our P6 class have been looking at this through the SP Energy Networks safe friendly schools programme, Powerwise.

To support this important message, SP Energy Networks has provided an electricity safety postcard for parents and carers. The postcard highlights key electricity safety tips designed to help families stay safe at home.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us promote electricity safety within the community.

 

We are taking part in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel to encourage as many people as possible to make active travel journeys to school.

• Travelling actively is great exercise and helps us stay healthy.
• Travelling actively to school means we arrive more alert and ready to learn!
• Walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting to school is fun!
• More people travelling actively to school means cleaner air, less traffic and less noise around the school.

So, let us encourage you to make an active travel journey by…        walking       wheeling      cycling     scooting      or                                        park and stride to school!

Thank you for your support.

 

We are all excited about World Book Day on Thursday 5th of March and we are getting ready for some fun reading activities – both in school and at home.

Our Book Fair is running every day from 3pm – 4pm so please come along and see the wonderful books that are available.

Our parents and carers have been invited to help encourage their children to read and enjoy books and stories.

Here is Olivia’s in P5 – what an amazing Harry Potter book cover she has created and also some amazing facts about Hermione Granger!

 

 

We are taking part in East Ayrshire Council’s Power Down initiative. 

 

 

We have been working really hard on monthly energy reducing challenges in school and are the Challenge of the Month winners.

 

Windy’s Top Tips are great ways that we can also reduce energy at school and at home! Perhaps some of these can help reduce our carbon footprint and our energy bills!!

Please help us raise our community caddy count by naming and registering your family’s food caddy. And remember…there’s a monthly prize draw from February to May!

• Choose a name for your family’s kerbside caddy. Write your chosen name on the lid/front of your kerbside caddy.

• Let us know the name of your caddy by registering it here (this will take 1 minute!) Your child received a letter with a QR code too. 

• Recycle your food waste at home, present your caddy for collection each week and enter your school recycling monthly prize draw – click here to find out when your caddy collection day is!

• Can you share your knowledge and encourage anyone else to recycle their food waste too and help to raise your Community Caddy Count? 

Thank you for your support!
