Gary Tait from Scottish Fire and Rescue delivered training to some of our parents last week around Deliberate Fire Setting and Outdoor Water Safety. Thank you so much Gary for taking the time to come and speak with us.
This Friday, 12th, we have FREE! Defib/CPR training at 9:15 in the Town Hall. Please contact me if you would like to join us.
Just a wee reminder that we have some spaces left for our Water and Fire safety training on Friday 5th May. Training will be held in New Cumnock Town Hall from 9:15-10:45. This training is free and all adults are welcome. If you would like to secure a place please send me an email and i will add your name to the list.
New Cumnock Primary School are delighted to inform you that we will be running a new after-school club based around Emotional Literacy which will be open to all p2 and p3 children. This will help support our children to understand and express their emotions and feelings in a positive and helpful manner, within a safe, nurturing and fun environment.
Each session will include an after-school healthy snack which children will be able to enjoy during the delivery of a specific emotion based story. This will then be followed with a linked craft.
Sessions will take place every Tuesday from 25th April until 23rd May from 3:00 till 4:15.
If you would like your child to take part, please sign the slip attached to the letter which your child will be given tomorrow and hand back in to school before Friday 21st April. You will be contacted on Monday 24th if your child has been allocated a space.
Our partners from Vibrant Communities, Adam and Dugie, who both also run our Parental Empowerment Programme every week, have managed to organise training opportunities for parents at New Cumnock Primary School. The training is free and will be delivered by Scottish Fire and Rescue. Due to limited spaces available if you would like to participate in this extremely worthwhile training please complete the attached form before 28th April. Thank You.
Recently, cases of head lice have been identified across the school and we wanted to make sure you were kept informed.
Whilst lice are nothing more than a nuisance, it is important that children are checked on a weekly basis so that any head lice can be dealt with quickly and before they are allowed to spread.
We suggest that you check your child’s head regularly.
Here is some simple advice you may wish to follow to keep head lice at bay.
Check your child’s hair once a week.
Use a proper detection comb. The comb is usually white in colour so that lice can be easily identified.
If you find live lice, visit the Pharmacy where you will be able to access the treatment under the minor ailments scheme and remember to check the whole family.
The Parental Empowerment group would like to invite all parents/carers to a short Makaton Taster Session on Friday 17th March. The group meet in the parent’s room from 9:15 until 10:30. Tea and coffee are always available and sometimes we even have a biscuit. Please feel free to email me for more information, or if you intend to join us. (Just so i can have enough cups ready)
