HALLOWEEN DISCO UPDATE

Halloween Disco Update
  • We hope all the boys and girls had a fantastic time at the Halloween disco. They all looked incredible in their costumes. We are delighted to announce that the disco raised Ā£637, Ā£500 of which we will donate to our reading resource campaign, with the rest added to our general fundraising pot. We appreciate all of your support.

    A special thank you goes to Mr Howie for his amazing experiments, Miss Orr, Mrs Beveridge and Mr Gilroy for keeping the disco flowing, our P7 volunteers who helped run the door and support our younger pupils, and our brilliant helpers who applied glitter tattoos and staffed the tuck shop and lucky dip. We hope wehaven’t missed anyone but we really appreciate everyone’s efforts to make the night so much fun for our children.

JRSO Seminar

JUNIOR ROAD SAFETY OFFICERS SEMINAR

On Tuesday 24thĀ September 2024, we went to Kay Park Church Hall for our seminar. This is the event that helps train us for our roles as Nether Roberlandsā€™ Junior Road Safety Officers.

We arrived early to school on the Tuesday so that we could get the bus to take us to Kilmarnock. We left school at 8.45am and we walked to the bus stop on the Robertland Hill. When the bus came, we got on and sat together up at the back and it took us to the bus station.

We used all the correct crossings when we got off the bus to keep us safe and when we arrived at the hall, we were met by a lady who registered us and gave us a goody bag which included our JRSO notebooks.

Lots of other schools were attending and we were in the green group with 2 other schools.

The first activity that we were doing was with Barbara, who works for Ayrshire Roads Alliance. She talked to us aboutĀ The Green Cross CodeĀ and got us to make posters. We used different coloured paper and we had the choice of lots of crafty items to use.

The next station we went to was to listen to a new initiative that JRSOā€™s are being asked to join in with. Itā€™s called ā€˜STARS, we strive for 5ā€™. We are being asked to do 5 things over the year and aim to get 5 starts. The things we have to aim for areā€¦.

  1. Sustainable Travel Initiative.
  2. Bikeability/Cycling
  3. Road Safety Campaign
  4. Run a school travel or road safety competition.
  5. Create and maintain a noticeboard or school blog.

We are looking forward to the challenge and hope to earn the 5 stars.

We then stopped for a snack. There was juice and biscuits provided for us and we were extra lucky as Miss McMillan bought us snacks too!!

After snack time, we joined Chloe who asked us how we arrived at school. We were asked if there was different ways we could encourage pupils to walk, cycle etc, rather than taking the car.

We had to use our imaginations for her next task. We were to come up with crazy ideas to get to school without using electricity! Water slides, trampolines, jet packs and flying carpets were just a few of the funny ideas!!!

Before we knew it, our morning was over. It had been really enjoyable and we have taken lots of new ideas away with us.

It was time for us to get the bus back to school. When the ladies heard that we were using public transport, they were very impressed that we hadnā€™t used cars or taxiā€™s to get thereā€¦..a big gold star for us!

MESSAGE FROM OUR PA

Girls’ Football Team Final

A huge well done to our Girls’ Football team for an excellent performance in the East Ayrshire Girls’ Premiership final yesterday. They worked hard to secure second place in East Ayrshire, which is a wonderful achievement. We would like to say a massive congratulations to Lainshaw in achieving the 6-1 win.

Thank you to Mrs Mason and Miss Hunter for all you have done to support our team and to our Stewarton Annick Football Coaches for training our girls and in promoting respect, teamwork and fun at all times. We can’t wait to see what next session brings for our football team!

JRSO final update for this session

I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Arran, Finn, Aimee & Rosie for their dedication and hard work over the last year. They have made my job as JRSO Co-Ordinator a privilege. I have been very lucky to be supported by them. Thank you also to our Sub Team who helped with assemblies and poster making. Your help was extremely valuable on our journey.

Here is just a small re-cap of what has been achieved in a short space of time.

They organised this yearsā€™ Hands up for Scotland Survey and presented at many assemblies promoting all things to do with road safety. They created and ran a campaign for safer parking in and around our school grounds. They supported our Parent Council with new parking signs as well as producing many informative notice boards that are displayed in the gym hall full of valuable information for our pupils. They also created a Road Safety Charter back in August incorporating the families of our school. We were successful in receiving a Road Safety Magic Show for P1-P4 (which was well received and great fun). They signed up for the Big Walk and Wheel fortnight as well as the recent Walk to School week. On top of all this, they have kept an informative floor book of their JRSO journey.

My proudest moment was when one of the HMIE Inspectors joined one of our weekly meetings back in January and the feedback from her was that our JRSO Team was the best she had ever seen in Scotland as well as our floor book being very detailed and capturing our journey so far. She said we should be very proud of ourselves.

Such a jam-packed year theyā€™ve had and their last duty was to choose next yearsā€™ new team. Together, they wrote application forms, spoke to the Primary 5 pupils and interviewed all of the applicants.

They have now chosen your new JRSO Team and I look forward to introducing them to you in the new term in August.

Thank you to everyone for their continued support.

Miss McMillan
