Please watch the video below to find out about our whole school campaign against dog fouling!

Step by Step Poo Bag Share Station:

This weeks right of the fortnight is:

Article 38: Governments must do all they can to protect and care for children affected by war. Governments must not allow children under the age of 15 to take part in war or join the armed forces!

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

& here is an excellent example of an informative poster by Mary highlighting the key parts from the article:

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

WEEK 3 Overview

At NCPS, we try to integrate Rights Respecting Schools into all areas of our curriculum. Before lockdown, Mr McClure’s class were responsible for rolling out the programme of learning this year…. However, now we are looking for some super support from across the school. This will look like:

• creative ways in visualising the different articles;
• completing the different tasks that will be posted on here;
• creating a video describing the right of the fortnight!

Here is examples of some amazing visualisations:

Article of the Week

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.

• Please keep the general channel related to school work. Your class teacher may add a ‘chatty channel’ which will allow you to chat with your friends, but please refrain from doing this on the general channel as work posts then get lost amongst the chats.

• Make sure that what you are typing is appropriate. Staff and your peers can see this. Any offensive of hurtful comments will be deleted. Please remember to be kind.

• Please be mindful of what time you are accessing Teams. Try to keep this within school hours.

• Whilst in a Live lesson, please conduct yourself as you would be encouraged to be in class, well behaved and mannerly at all times.

We encourage our parents/carers to monitor this closely too.

Thank you for your continued support.
