We have enjoyed hosting our class Christmas parties this week. We danced, played party games and enjoyed some snacks.
We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Sheryl and Heather at the Working Men’s Club for donating the beautiful balloon arch used for our class photos. We are extremely grateful to them both for allowing us to borrow it!
Today, P6 and P7 pupils participated in Sportshall Athletics at Robert Burns Academy.
We travelled by public bus, with many of our pupils using their NEC card to gain free travel.
They competed in events such as team relays, vertical jump, triple jump and javelin to name a few.
We are very proud of how well our pupils displayed team work and determination in their events, a huge well done to you all!
A huge thank you to EAC Active Schools for organising the event and well done to Auchinleck PS on winning this heat!

At both performances, our Parent Council will be selling class crafts which we have left over from our Christmas Fayre. Bring some pennies along with you, you are guaranteed to see something you will like!
As part of our continued School Improvement, we are focusing on school attendance – the benefits of good attendance for our learners, the barriers they may face and how we can work together to support our families and improve this.
In order to do this, we are seeking the involvement of our parents/carers. If you would be keen to be part of this Focus Group to explore, improve and promote this area of school improvement, please complete the Form below and Mrs McNulty will be in touch with you soon to arrange a meeting.
We are so excited for our whole school Pantomime Trip to the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr tomorrow to see Mother Goose!
We are very grateful to the New Cumnock Development Trust for their kind donation of £3000 towards the cost of this trip from a recent funding application from our Parent Council! This helped to subsidise a great deal of the cost of this trip, alleviating the financial pressure of our families at this time of year.
Our school Christmas Fayre is this Saturday. We are still accepting donations of toys, bottles and raffle prizes.
We can’t wait to see you all there!

Today we promoted, ‘Be Bright, Be Seen’ with a dress down day wearing bright colours.
We want to encourage all pupils to wear something bright on their journeys to school. Bright, fluorescent and especially reflective clothing is so important when the days become darker.
A huge thank you for all your chocolate donations in aid of this Dress Down Day. These will go towards creating tasty hampers which will be raffled off at our Christmas Fayre next weekend!
