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!

Eco-Committee – Recruitment
Good day everyone!
I have a very exciting opportunity for those of you who are up for a challenge!
As you know we are an eco school and currently hold our Green Flag Award which was renewed in July 2020. With the current challenges we face, getting up and running as a new committee has been put on hold but we are now ready to move forward with our next action plan. I am looking to form a new eco committee which will represent all stages across the school as well as the community.
Our Eco-Committee play a very important role in looking after our environment at a school, community and world level. It is up to us to think of ways to take care of the world around us and do things in the interests of the environment.
If you or your grown up are interested in becoming part of New Cumnock Primary School Eco-Committee then please complete the form below by Friday 5th February. I look forward to reading your application and hopefully forming a new committee very soon!
As the Eco-Committee, it will be our job to work with the other children in our school to make it a more environmentally friendly place.
As part of this you will need to:
Share ideas in weekly Eco-Committee meetings
Carry out an environmental review to measure our school’s performance against the Eco topics
Help create a plan for how we can make New Cumnock P.S eco-friendlier in the next year
Speak to other members of the school community, which might include parents, pupils, members of the public and teachers
Bring ideas from your class to the meetings and also feedback what we have discussed
Be willing to speak in school assemblies
Help write articles for the newsletter
Help the school be more energy effective during its daily running e.g. switching off lights
Help the school achieve an Eco-Schools Award

RRS: We Need You!
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:
This weeks focus is on the Holocaust Memorial Day. Please follow the link below and click on the download button for suggested activities for infants and uppers. If you complete any of the activities can you please email the work to: john.mcclure@eastayrshire.org.uk 🤪!
Appropriate Use Of Microsoft Teams
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.
