A little reminder of our trips this week…
Monday – Primary 1 & 1/2
Tuesday – Primary 2/3 & 5
Wednesday – Primary 4 & 6
Thursday – Primary 7
If you are providing your child with their packed lunch, please put it in a carrier bag. That way when the children are finished eating, the bags can go in the bin (saves any nice packed lunches being lost or damaged at the park and means the children don’t have to carry it around for the remainder of the day). Also, we kindly ask that no fizzy juice be given to the children for school trips.
Clothing – Please wear school polo shirt and jumper/cardigan on top and comfortable trousers on bottom. Wear sensible shoes and please prepare for the weather (i.e. rain jacket or sun cream)
Thank you!
Our raffle tickets for the big summer prize giveaway are all ready and waiting. All you have to do is log onto parent pay and buy the tickets. You have to be in it to win it!!
A great big thank you to all of our wonderful parents, staff, local councillors and especially pupils (and pupils to be) who came along to help us tidy up the front of the school this afternoon. It looks so much better already. Keep an eye out for our future dates. Your help would be very much appreciated!!

We would like to share a kind reminder with everyone that we are a health promoting school. Therefore we ask that the children bring in a healthy snack for playtime. These include fruit, a sandwich, a packet of crisps or a small sweetie. Please DO NOT send your child into school with brain lickers, sugary spray sweeties or anything else with a high sugar content. We would also like to remind you that the children are welcome to bring water into their classes. No juice or flavoured water should be sent into class for during the day. The children are allowed juice and flavoured water at lunchtime.
Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter.

It has come to our attention that there is an error in our June’s newsletter regarding the Primary 7 Leaver’s assembly. Our assembly will be held on the 28th June at 2pm – NOT the 21st.
Please accept our apologises for the error.
We look forward to seeing all of our P7 parents in school for this very special occasion.
Thank you for your continuing support!

What a year of celebration it has been in Primary 4. The children have been on an exciting journey making three of their sacraments this year and we couldn’t be more proud of them. They began the year with their first Reconciliation, then their Confirmation and more recently they made their first Holy Communion. They have worked extremely hard and showed dedication to their faith and God. Well done everyone!!
Further to our earlier post, we would like to invite our parents in through the front gate when coming into school to see your own child race. A pupil from our wonderful P7 organisers will be there to greet you and take you around to the field at the back of the school where our races will be taking place.
A reminder that school uniform is not required tomorrow and the children can wear comfortable sports wear that is weather appropriate.
Everyone please cross your fingers and toes for a dry day!!
A little reminder of the times for each class race…

It is our absolute intention to go ahead with sports day tomorrow (Thursday 9th June). Unfortunately, we cannot predict the weather, so we kindly ask that you send your child into school with sport clothing on (absolutely no football colours) and equipped for the ever changing weather. We will be outside for some of the day; therefore the children will need jumpers and maybe a light raincoat (hopefully not but we do live in Scotland!) or if we are lucky enough for some sunshine, a hat and sun cream.
Can you also make sure that your child has plenty of water for the day as they will be very busy with lots of different activities from races and potted sports to curling and yoga.
The children are very excited for tomorrow (and so are the teachers!). We cannot wait to have our new p1’s in as well as our parents to see us racing. Please see below the timetable for the races (this has been shared previously)
9:10 – 9:30 Primary 1

Again, we kindly ask that when your child is finished racing, could you please leave the playground as to allow the next class parents in. to watch their children.
See you all tomorrow!!

On Tuesday I was delighted to work with the Pupil Council and speak with them about the North West Kilmarnock Consultation and hear some of their views on why this would be good for our school. These children are now working with the rest of their class to gather more ideas to share with Education Scotland on Monday 13th June.
Great job, thank you for sharing your ideas.
Mrs Fergusson
Our school sports day has been provisionally organised for Thursday 9th June this year. This will take the form on potted sports where classes will walk their way around a series of sporting
events, one of which will be races, parents/carers will be permitted to attend.
Our sports day has been scheduled for the 9th June this year (weather dependent). We would like to invite our parents and carers in for a short visit to see your child and their class compete in some races.
This will take the format of welcoming our adults into the school grounds to watch their child’s class run and then we politely request that you allow the next set of parents to be invited in. If you
are the parent or carer of more than one child then you are invited to come in for each of your child’s race slot.
