November’s Family Values Challenge

We would like to say a huge thanks to all of our families and children who took part in November’s Value of the Month challenge. This focused on our value of teamwork. We asked our families to share what teamwork looked in in your homes and in the community. As a family, you selected three words that describe the quality required to display good teamwork and you shared this by putting these words into Menti. We are now pleased to share what this looks like to you. This is represented by the word cloud below. The words that are bigger are those that were selected the most. We are delighted to see aspects such as fun, kind and cooperation are in bold.

Value of the Month – Determination

As a school we have identified the following ways we can show determination.

  • Work hard, be motivated and rise to challenges
  • Never giving up, even when it is hard
  • Making mistakes and to keep trying until you succeed

As our value this month for December is determination, we would love you to share any videos or photos of your family showing determination. Please share these with us via the school email, which can be found below.

We look forward to seeing all the great examples of determination.

JUPITER PARENT LETTER

Dear Parent/Carer,

EAC – Journey to Jupiter

We are delighted to be participating in East Ayrshire Council’s new Active Travel
initiative Journey to Jupiter this session. The aim of this project is to get young
people walking to school in a bid to further reduce our carbon emissions here in
East Ayrshire, while also reducing congestion at our school gates and promoting
Active Travel.

Each time our young people travel to/from school by walking, scooting/cycling,
they will earn an S-mile for their class.

Park & Stride – pupils will earn an S-Mile even if they walk part of the journey
to/from school. A walking circuit will be available in the playground for pupils who
travel to school by taxi/bus and for any pupil who wishes to gather bonus S-miles
for their class during break/lunch times.

Bonus S-Miles can be earned by parents/siblings/staff walking the journey to
school too. Class walks, outings and Daily Mile time also earn S-Miles for classes.
Classes will receive certificates/rewards each time they set a new walking record
for their class. We will collate our S-Miles each week in school and send our totals
to the Climate Change Team at East Ayrshire Council each month.
The Launch!

Once all participating schools have banked 444,000 S-Miles, we will have enough
power bars to launch our EAC Clean Green rocket, sending it all the way to Jupiter.
We will begin collecting S-Miles on Tuesday 26
th September and continue to
gather as many as we can throughout the year.

Thank you in advance for supporting our Journey to Jupiter.
From our NRPS Climate Champions

Please see below a letter regarding the Jupiter initiative.
