We have activated a new accessibility button on our school blogs. This blue button should appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the blog and allows the line spacing, font, images etc to be changed to best suit your needs.
Hopefully this will assist some of our users to allow everyone to access the information in the best format for them.
The children are invited to dress up as a book character, or simply bring a prop from their favourite book e.g. Harry Potter’s wand, a mixing bowl from George’s Marvellous Medicine etc. If not dressing up, the children are welcome to dress down on the day. (No football clothes/colours please).
Please hand in any old costumes that you cannot use any more to the school office. We are happy to add them to our recycling rack in the school.
The teachers will have events planned for the day that promote the enjoyment of reading. The ECC will have their own events planned for the day and will be informing parents/carers of their plans.
Here is the link to the family section of the World Book Day website:

We will once again be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March. More details will follow after the February holiday, however we just wanted to ask if anyone has any costumes that their child/children used in a previous year that they no longer require? If you do, please send them into the school office and we will find a new home for them.
The P7 Captains and Vice Captains are helping out at the MacMillan Coffee Morning in the Church Hall. It has been a huge success and the community have turned out to show their support – despite the awful weather!!
Following the death of Her Majesty The Queen on Thursday 8 September 2022 we are observing a period of National Mourning.
The UK Government has announced an additional one-off Bank Holiday on the day of Her Majesty’s State Funeral – Monday 19 September 2022.
As this falls on our September Public Holiday we can confirm that East Ayrshire Council will move this Public Holiday from Monday 19 September 2022 to Tuesday 20 September 2022.
Our Council offices and education establishments will be closed both days, but normal service provision will be maintained by our emergency/ standby services and essential services such as waste service, Children’s Houses, Care at Home, Community Alarms and Homeless Hostels. Our offices and schools will reopen on Wednesday 21 September.
We understand that any closure of Council services at short notice including our education services can be inconvenient for our communities but we have considered that keeping the extra day close to the funeral date will both mark this event appropriately and cause least disruption to services.

Thank you to everyone who donated their recycling to the latest collection. We raised £84 for School Funds. A great acheivement!
Dear parent / carer
I am pleased to share with you the link to our P7 Information Video. As we are currently unable to welcome large groups of parents to the school for a face-to-face information evening, we decided to record a video that you can view with your child instead. This video should answer many of the questions you may have about the final stages of our transition programme.
The video can be viewed by clicking the link below:
Or through our school blog’s P7 Transition section:
https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/ea/therobertburnsacademy/p7-transition/
We would also like to invite you to an online drop-in session on Wednesday 25th May from 6.30-7.30pm. There will be no presentation or content shared during this session, this is an opportunity for parents and carers to ask any questions they may have. I would encourage you to watch the information video and look at the content on the P7 Transition page of our school blog in the first instance.
You can join us for the online session via the following link:
