Today, P6 and P7 an outdoor water safety awareness course at LochDoon.
We learned about the hidden hazards within and around the water and how to correctly use the life-saving equipment strategically positioned around the loch. Both classes received essential lifesaving skills training including CPR awareness and defib training and were taught how to float in the water, should they find themselves in danger. They also learned invaluable information about cold-water shock, which is one of the main causes of drowning in Scotland.
A huge thank you to Scottish Fire and Rescue, Police Scotland, Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Loch Doon Ranger Service, Forestry and Land Scotland for their informative sessions.

We were excited to be part of the New Cumnock Coronation Celebration weekend!
Primary 7 pupils Lily P and Noah R were crowned as King and Queen and then paraded around the town on the Friday evening, followed by a Disco performed by our very own DJ Wee Parky.
The Saturday family fun day was a huge success and it was great to see so many people come out to enjoy the community celebrations. Our school choir entertained the crowd by performing some songs they have been rehearsing in preparation for the event.
A huge thank you goes to the Coronation Committee for their kind donation of commemorative medals for every child in the school, what a lovely gesture to mark such a memorable occasion.
As part of our school Coronation celebrations, children came to school wearing red, white and blue. We had a picnic party in the playground in the afternoon, DJ’d by our very own DJ Wee Parky who had been taking song requests all week.
A huge thank you to the Parent Council who funded snacks for all the children to enjoy at the picnic and to Pathhead Bakery for their very kind donation of Coronation cupcakes for all the children to enjoy!
