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.
We are trying 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, but we are faced with the ongoing issue of dangerous parking around our school grounds, making it difficult for our children to safely use the footpaths around our school.
Our Clean Green Transport Team would like to make you aware of 5 safe car parks within walking distance of our school.
Please watch our video and listen to the message from our young people to help keep everybody safe!
To celebrate the end of term, this Friday, we will be hosting a whole school FAB Friday Get Together, where we will be recognising the Wider Achievements of our pupils .
We want to hear about your child’s successes! Please bring in your certificates, medals or stories about your achievements from this Term.
To help with the programming of the afternoon, please complete the form below to let us know what your child wishes to celebrate. We will use the names gathered on the Form to create the running order.
We have a range of winter jackets and school uniform in a variety of sizes available for free to our families.
They are on display by the Community Entrance. They are all labelled by size, please help yourself! The Community Entrance doors will be open 9-9.15am and 3-3.15pm until Thursday this week.
We are also looking for donations of PE kit (shorts/joggers/indoor shoes) to keep in our changing rooms for anyone who has forgotten their kit. If you have anything suitable at home, please send them in with your child or hand in at the main office.
Since the summer break, New Cumnock Primary School has been participating in the Trailblazers trial – a joint Ayrshire project looking to improve road safety and increase active and sustainable travel to school. To understand the impact of the trial, a short survey has been prepared to understand views on the trial and any changes in travel behaviours and attitudes. I would be most grateful if you could take a few minutes to share your thoughts via the short survey provided at the following link:
Today we enjoyed our school Christmas dinner! It was delicious and is always a highlight having the staff serve the pupils. A huge thank you to our catering staff for the wonderful meal!
The P7s were so kind to return the favour by serving the staff their dinner afterwards!
Yesterday we enjoyed a whole school trip to the Palace Theatre to watch this years Pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.
We had a great afternoon! Lyle and Lucas did us proud with their star performances on the big stage!
A huge thank you must go to our wonderful Parent Council for their kind donation of £2000 to go towards our transport costs. This helped us to dramatically reduce the cost we asked from our families to help fund this brilliant day out.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and supported our Christmas Fayre on Saturday!
It was a huge success, raising over £1300 for Parent Council funds, which help our school immensely throughout the year!
Thank you to our wonderful Parent Council for all their hard work in putting together such a large scale event! Another huge thank you goes to Christina Mackie at the Gospel Hall who kindly donated all their takings from their stall at the Fayre, to our funds. This was extremely kind of you, thank you very much!
Our Clean Green Energy Team were hard at work during Rich Tasks on Friday to create our ‘Windy Widnae Waste Water’ video to highlight Windy’s top tips from this week.
