The Eco Rich Task Group have been planning and organising a Planet Picnic for Thursday 30th March 2023. This will be a celebration of ways in which we can look after the environment. This picnic will run from 11-11:30am and the children are being asked to bring in snacks and drinks that are packaged in a sustainable way. It would also be good if the food brought could be locally produced as food miles are a big consideration when thinking about protecting our planet. The Rich Task Group have created activities to be done during the event and there will be a competition to design and win a ‘customised’ reusable bottle! As it is a picnic it would be great if the children could bring a picnic blanket.
Thank you again for your continued support!

P4 have started their Heritage Heroes project. For this project we need to learn about the history of New Cumnock and share what we have learned. We have chosen to learn about the history of the swimming pool. We are learning about the old and new pool as both of the pools have history we would like to learn about. If you don’t mind could you share your experiences by answering the questions below. Thank you from P4.
We would also be grateful if you could e-mail any photos you have of the pool or the way New Cumnock used to look when there was a library, tennis courts, games hall and community centre. Please e-mail any photos to – karen.petrie@eastayrshire.org.uk
Thank you from Primary 4.

We are taking part in the Heritage Hero Award and we are learning about schools in New Cumnock in the olden days. We would like you to answer our questionnaire to tell us about your time at school in New Cumnock. We would be delighted, grateful, honoured and pleased if you would take time to fill it in. Thank you for your time.
