Just a reminder that it is Dress Down Day on Friday 28th September for school funds. Please donate through Parent Pay or PayPoint.

No football colours please.

All parents are invited along to the Parent Council meeting being held in the school on Tuesday 25th September at 7pm. We are looking forward to the year ahead and hopefully having some new members to boost the numbers!! 🙂

Our first Rag Bag Collection of the session will be on Friday 28th September.
If you have any clothes, shoes, belts etc. that are still quite good but of no use to you please bag them up and hand them in to the school. The pupils will all be given rag bags next week with more details on them. Don’t worry if you can’t have them ready for the 28th, we can re-fill our bin ready for the next collection in 2019.
The clothes are weighed on the lorry and we are given money depending on how much we collect. The money is put to good use for the benefit of the school and the pupils.
Thanks

Miss Millar is starting a netball club for pupils in Primary 6 & 7 on Monday nights from 3.05pm – 4pm and adults (parents of pupils at Mauchline Primary) are welcome along to play too! You are still welcome along even if your child isn’t attending the club.

So get your trainers ready and come along to our first session on the 10th of September!

Ms Lorraine Dougan has been appointed as the new Head Teacher of Mauchline PS and ECC. Ms Dougan will take up post in due course.

The staff would like to offer a warm welcome to children and parents who have returned after the summer break ready for a new session of learning at Mauchline PS & ECC.
The usual data checks forms will be coming out and a new photography consent form has been issued by EAC. We would ask that the forms be returned as promptly as possible as we have already been contacted by the Cumnock Chronicle who are waiting to take photos of our bright shiny new Primary one children.

We are all excited about our new classes and hope for another successful, challenging and rewarding year of school.

Zara’s gran kindly baked a cake for our P7’s which they enjoyed outside in the garden! Thank you Zara’s Gran!!

Winners!! 

Pupils from P6 & P7 took part in the Bill Shankly football tournament today at Auchinleck Academy & only went & won!! Massive well done to the boys who took part, we are super proud!

Several months ago the P6 and P7 classes took part in a Scottish Engineering Challenge. First of all each class had the opportunity to speak to an engineer from among our own parents, thanks to Mrs McQuisten, Mr Galloway and Mr Ferguson! Next they were asked what they would do if they were engineers, after that they had to design, draw and label their ideas. The final stage was to write their pitch letter describing their invention and explaining why theirs should be chosen. They were all posted off and judged along with thousands of other entries from all over Scotland.
Well done P6 and P7 pupils! The pupils achieved 66 certificates across the three classes, some at Pass grade, some at Merit grade and some with distinction. All graded entries will receive a certificate.
Jake Currie from P7 and Paige Donis from P6 achieved distinction and were shortlisted to be displayed at the University of Strathclyde, a special well done to them!
