Apologies for the delay, but our Literacy and Numeracy parental packs have now been sent home with every ‘oldest and only’ child in the school, thus ensuring we have both packs sent home to every one of our families.
We hope you find the information and activities in these helpful! If you have any questions about the content in these, please contact Mrs McNulty on danielle.mcnulty@eastayrshire.org.uk.
Thank you again for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s learning.
With Halloween just around the corner, and our school Halloween Fun Day this Friday 28th October, you’ve probably been thinking about what your child will want to dress up as this year?
We are so grateful for the kind donations of unwanted costumes, which we made available to our families at our Clothing Recycling Station, located in our Parent’s Room today!
If you were unable to attend today and would like to take a costume free of charge, we will be opening our Clothing Recycling Station once again tomorrow (Thursday) from 3pm-3.30pm. Please enter via the school main entrance.
In a world of fast fashions and rising costs, let’s work together to save money and be kinder to our environment!
With Halloween just around the corner, and our school Halloween Fun Day on Friday 28th October, you’ve probably started to think about what your child will dress up as this year?
Do you have any old dress up costumes at home that no longer fit? Do you need something new for this Halloween? If so, then we want to hear from you!
We will be accepting any donations of unwanted costumes, which we will then make available to our families at our Clothing Recycling Station, located in our Parent’s Room.
Any donations of fancy dress costumes would be greatly appreciated and accepted at the school main office up until Tuesday 25th October.
On Wednesday 26th October, parents/carers will be welcomed into our Parents Room at 3pm where you will be able to see what we have available and can take free of charge. (Please enter via the main entrance)

Over the past several weeks we have been delighted to welcome our families back into school to visit our classrooms and have our pupils discuss their learning in Literacy and Numeracy with you.
We have been overwhelmed at how many of our families have been able to join us and we hope that you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!
Please keep an eye out for Parent Literacy and Numeracy packs which will be sent home with ‘oldest and only’ children, ensuring you have 1 per family. You will find useful information about our delivery of these subjects, some of the terminology explained and some examples of activities you can try at home with your child.
We are looking forward to many more opportunities to welcome you into school over this session. Don’t forget to check out our Parental Involvement calendar to note down the many opportunities we have to welcome you in to school this year.
We are delighted to be able to run our school choir again this session, and we already have several events in our diary to perform at on the run up to Christmas and we cannot wait!
At the start of this month, we were honoured to be asked to perform at the New Cumnock Parish Church Harvest Service.
It was lovely to sing in front of the congregation which included many of our families and friends.
We are delighted to share that our much-loved Christmas Fair is BACK!!!
Come and join us on Saturday 26th November from 10am until 12pm and enjoy our stalls with a hot snack and entertainment.

Why not visit the Town Hall that evening at 5pm to enjoy the Community Pantomime too and make a right old Christmassy day of it?!
Our stalls are available to hire for small businesses for £10 a table.
