Here is Emma from P6-7 explaining what this right is:

Rights Respecting Schools: Dog Fouling Campaign!
As a whole school, we are going to fight against the smelly dog poo that gets left on the streets of New Cumnock. As the week progresses, I will release a video explaining in more detail as to what the campaign is. However, the first thing we need to do is to choose a poster that is going to go alongside the campaign. Below are a couple of super examples that other communities have used.. but we want to have a bit of New Cumnock to ours so be as creative as you possibly can! Your teacher will send your poster to Mr McClure and he will then put the best posters to a vote to decide which one we will use! Good luck!
This week at NCPS, we are looking at two very important rights. The breakdown of both of the rights are above in the pictures. Our focus this week is going to be Safer Internet Day. I have attached a PowerPoint below that provides a couple of super activities that I would love for you to complete.
If you complete any of the activities please send pictures to: john.mcclure@eastayrshire.org.uk

Our teaching staff and Senior Leadership Team actively monitor the class use of Microsoft Teams and it has came to our attention that in some cases in recent days, class Teams pages have displayed some undesirable behaviours.
We encourage our parents/carers to monitor this closely too.
Thank you for your continued support.
