Value of the Month – Teamwork

As our value this month is teamwork, we are spending time thinking about how to show teamwork in school and at home. In school, we have identified the following ways we can show teamwork and we are working hard on this.

  • Working together to get things done
  • Sharing ideas and listening to others
  • Valuing the opinions of others

This month, we invite you to:

  1. Discuss with your family what teamwork looks like in your home and in the community. As a family, select three words that describe the qualities required to display good teamwork.
  2. Click on the link or use the QR code below to share your responses with us at school.

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.
