2 of our P7 Clean Green Team members, Peighton and Summer, were excited to attend the Climate Conference today at Loudoun Academy today. We had a great day networking with lots of partnership agencies who can help us on our journey to Gold status. We are looking forward to using all our inspiration from this event to help us generate our 25/26 Action Plan. 💚♻️ #EANetZero
As part of our Clean Green Schools Award, we are participating in the Voyage to Venus transport initiative, encouraging everyone to travel to school in sustainable ways. This begins on Monday 29th September!
Yesterday we received a visit from OnPath Energy who helped us to learn more about Renewable Energy as part of our Clean Green journey.
We have been invited to take part in a competition to name one of their Wind Farms they have been approved for. The company wish to mark the heritage and significance of the sites to our local community and its mining history. Try to keep this in mind when coming up with your chosen name.
Sheets will be sent home before the end of the week but must be returned by Monday 9th June to be entered into the competition.
We have a variety of school uniform available at our pre-loved clothing bank.
If this is something you would be interest in, please contact Mrs Bradford, our Home Link Practitioner, on her work mobile: 07788124474, stating the size and gender of clothing required.
Today we celebrated the end of ‘Walk to School Week’ with a brightly coloured ‘Shorts and Shades’ theme! (We think we planned it perfectly as we got to enjoy the last of the super sunshine today!)
Thank you to everyone for their kind chocolate donations towards this day. Our Parent Council intend to use these to make hampers for our Summer Fayre on Saturday 7th June.
This week we begin Challenge 2 of Shoot To Saturn, as we begin to log our S-Miles across the school in the hope of making it to the Beta Station in 12 weeks time.
Please find more information in the letter below, which details how you can help us and encourage your children to participate.

As part of our Clean Green Schools accreditation, we are continuing with our active travel to school initiative. This time we are collecting S-Miles to travel to Saturn, collecting Cosmic Crystals on the way! If we collect enough, we will be presented with our very own Cosmic Crystal to display in school!
Help us by encouraging active travel to school where possible! Open the letter below for more information.
A huge thank you to all of you who completed our Parent Council Road Safety surveys.
Your views and comments are extremely important and will be collated to support us as we move forward in addressing the road safety concerns around our school.
Our Clean Green Transport Team gathered all the completed forms and input them to a random generator to select the winner of the £30 Aldi voucher. And the winner is…

A huge thank you to Ian McMeekin for spearheading this campaign.
The Parent Council and Clean Green Transport Team will be taking their concerns and views of our parent body to a Community Council meeting next week. Stay tuned on our progress with this.
We have successfully applied to Tesco Stronger Starts Grants, with the aim of using the funding to create new living and growing spaces within our school grounds, creating a safe hub for nature and growing our own food produce.
You will see this in our local Tesco in Auchinleck. We would really appreciate your votes to help secure this funding!
Today, our Accreditation Rich Tasks groups participated in Windy’s Earth Hour by getting outside and enjoying lots of screen free fun together!
We felt it was important that everyone got involved, in order to spread the Earth Hour message, not just our Clean Green Team. It was great to see so many children having fun outside with not a piece of technology to be found!
(Apart from Mrs McNulty’s phone making an appearance to capture the proof! Ha!)
The official Earth Hour is tomorrow, Saturday 23rd March at 8.30pm.
We ask that for 1 hour tomorrow evening, our families take time to switch off and dedicate an hour to help bring our world back to life. You can do this in any way you like, by spending 60 minutes doing something positive for our planet. Need inspiration? Click on the link below to view some ideas.

If you choose to take part, please evidence what you choose to do and upload it as a Parental Contribution to your child’s Learning Journal. We will showcase these entries at Monday’s Get Together and award house points to all our participants.
