What an amazing turnout at our Christmas Fair! Thanks to everyone who supported the school by attending and donating.
The P7 Residential fundraiser still has a few squares remaining, with the opportunity to win £100!
If you would like to enter, our P7’s will be coming round the classes starting tomorrow. Squares cost £2, with the winner being drawn once all 100 squares are sold. Square will be sold on a first come first served basis.
Please send £2 in with your child if you would like to purchase a square! Good luck!
We are so excited that there is only 1 more sleep until our much-loved Christmas Fair is BACK!!!
Come and join us tomorrow Saturday 26th November from 10am until 12pm at New Cumnock Primary School and enjoy our stalls with a hot snack and entertainment.
A few things to note this year:
The entrance to our Fair this year will be at the back of the main car park, through the main gates into the playground. Our Elves will be there to greet you!
In the playground, you will be able to visit Dr Bike who will be there carrying out bike safety checks and have bike models there for you to try before you buy. We are sure this is a popular item on many Christmas lists this year!
Our School Choir will also be singing to welcome you all into the Fair. Any donations to their fundraising bucket would be greatly appreciated.
Please ensure you bring money to the fair as all stalls will be operating with cash. Card payments will not be possible.
There will be teas, coffees, hot rolls and shortbread available to buy too.
You may find it useful to bring a ‘bag for life’ or regular carrier bag with you, as we are confident our guests will find many products they will want to buy!
As you can see from the photos above, this year is set to be our biggest and best Fair yet! We can’t wait to welcome our supporters and small businesses. Come and visit us to see:
Our Classroom Assistants took part in a training session on Thursday with our PATHS coordinator Katrina McGovern. Considering PATHS messages, they made a plan to improve our playground. Watch this space for more information!
Amy and Aleesha, our JRSO officers, presented an informative PPT to both infant and upper assemblies on Friday. They explained that we will be celebrating Be Bright Be Seen day on Friday 25th November. Children should come to school wearing bright and creative clothing.
Please look at the website below for key messages about the importance of being bright near the road!
The United Nations’, Universal Children’s Day, is on 20th November. This important, worldwide celebration happens every year. It is a day for everybody to think about children, help create a friendly world for every child and to help children know their own rights.
During Friday’s Get Together, we explored how people around the world were working hard to protect children’s rights. We discussed how taking part in Anti-Bullying Week was a good way to highlight children’s rights and to set up systems to ensure these rights are protected.
Well done to our Stars of the Week who demonstrated one of our school VALUES this week! We are extremely proud of you all for working hard to display our school values.
P1 – Clay C for MUTUAL RESPECT
P1/2 – Isla S for DETERMINATION
P2 – Jessica S for DETERMINATION and RESPONSIBILITY
We are on our journey to becoming a “Communication Friendly School.” Mrs Johnstone is our Communication Champion and she has her leadership group working along side her to develop this in our school. We have lots to do to achieve this and need to cover aspects in 5 areas to be successful.
One way we want to become a Communication Friendly School is by introducing the use of British Sign Language (BSL) and encouraging everyone to use is appropriately. We will share our SIGN OF THE FORTNIGHT video which will show you how to do the signs.
This fortnight, we are introducing – thank you, well done and sorry.
As Thistle had the most points in Term 1, the house captains, Bruce and Orla, have been busy planning a fun reward session for them in the gym hall tomorrow.
