Learning Journals
Due to the excellent response to the use of Learning Journals in our P1-3 classes, we are very excited to be introducing the use of them to the upper classes starting next session. To help with preparation work for these, we need the current P4 – P6 children’s parents/carers to complete the form below and then the process of setting up the journals can begin.
What are Learning Journals?
The Learning Journals app allows staff to upload photos and videos of your child’s learning. The system is clear, simple and easy to use for parents, staff and children.
A huge benefit of Learning Journals is that it provides a lasting visual record of a child’s time at school. The profiles can be exported to a printable PDF to be kept forever, as well as having an electronic copy that can be viewed whenever you want.
Learning Journals is a web based service, therefore parents are now able to login and catch up with their child’s progress wherever they are be it home, work or even out and about, by using their smartphones.
Parents can instantly leave comments and feedback ensuring that the school have a strong link with the home.
Please see the image below to view the app you must download from your play/app store.
Getting started:
In order to be sent a username, password and pin allowing you to log in to view your child’s account, parents/carers must complete the contact form below.
Once added to the system, Learning Journals will then send you the link to get logged in.

Tuesday: P3 and P4
Wednesday: P5
Lessons will start the WB 30/5/22. Can all pupils please bring a swimming costume and a towel.
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 respectfully request that children do not bring Pokemon Cards into school.
Regretfully, we have been dealing with increased incidents of disruption and upset amongst pupils across all stages regarding Pokemon Cards.
Please could all parents ensure Pokemon Cards are left at home for the foreseeable future. Children who do bring Pokemon Cards to school will be asked to put them away in school bags, and are left in school bags at their own risk.
Thank you for your continued support in this matter.
We would appreciate if our current P1 parents could take a minute or two to feedback through this form. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
