Earth Hour 2024
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.

Tartan Trek Success!
A huge thank you to everyone who made our Tartan Trek last week such a success! To everyone who sponsored our children, to the New Cumnock Development Trust for the yummy snacks and drinks provided to us on our return, to our Parent Helpers and Staff for accompanying our children on our walk and to our wonderful children for being such good sports and coming along and singing all the way round the Lagoons and back to school, despite the poor weather that day. A personal favourite was the rendition of ‘Happy Birthday Dear Rabbie!!!’ from Primary 1 as we walked past the Robert Burns Statue.
We are delighted to announce that our Sponsored Walk raised a staggering total of £3871.30!!!
WELL DONE EVERYONE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
P6 Open Afternoon 7/2/24
Tartan Trek 25/1/24
A wee reminder that we will be going out on our sponsored Tartan Trek tomorrow (Thursday).
All sponsor money will be collected in the morning by class teachers, alternatively, if you would prefer, you can hand in your child’s sponsor money at the main office, if you would rather drop it off yourself, but this must be done in the morning to allow us to get it counted and banked.
Don’t forget to wear your tartan tomorrow but to also dress appropriately for the outdoors as we intend to head out, even if it is raining. (That way we will have really earned our sponsor money!)
When we arrive back at school, each child will be given a drink and a snack which has been kindly donated from the New Cumnock Development Trust. Thank you again to Tammy and the team for this kind gesture!
We will be heading out at 1.30pm so if you are out in your car or we walk past your window, give us a wave or a toot!

Journey to Jupiter continues…
Parents/carers,
We are continuing to encourage our young people to walk, cycle, scoot or park and stride to school as part of our Journey to Jupiter challenge in partnership with Clean Green East Ayrshire.
We will continue to log S-Miles gained by those who have travelled to school in an environmentally friendly manner each day. These results are then sent away to the Clean Green EA team who will collate the results of all participating schools in the local authority in the hope that we gain enough S-Miles to power our rocket all the way to Jupiter!
As we shared previously, we have concerns with the dangerous parking we have witnessed around our school grounds which makes it difficult for our children to safely use the footpaths around our school.
Click on the link below to our previous post which highlighted the 5 safe car parks within walking distance of our school which we encourage all our families to use when travelling by car.
Please listen to the message from our young people to help keep everybody safe and healthy as we encourage environmentally friendly travel to school!
