We are delighted that we can rebuild our partnership with Dumfries house who have kindly found space in their packed schedule for our P1-5 pupils for Farming themed workshops and play, despite having bookings from schools all over Central Scotland! This matches perfectly with our WORLD OF WORK theme, which this year was all about local opportunities, which includes our farming community.
P1a P1b P2 and P2/3 will enjoy the Springwatch workshop at the farm, meeting a variety of animals, learning how to look after them and all about animal life cycles, as well as enjoying time in the STEM playground and new park!
P3 P4 and P5 will be visiting the RHET Festival of farming days at Dumfries House, taking part in workshops where they will be learning about the variety of careers available in agriculture and rural life, as well as enjoying and meeting a variety of animals including horses, pigs, chickens, bees, sheep and cows.
Are your children growing out of their uniform? Don’t want to waste money buying new uniform so late in the school year? Why not visit the UNIFORM BANK this Friday (29th April) outside the MAIN OFFICE from 2.30pm onwards!
The Clean Green Schools Award team have been thinking of ways to recycle, reduce and reuse throughout the school. One of the ways they have decided to do this is through the development of a school uniform bank.

The uniform bank will be available on the last Friday of each month from now until the Summer break!

All our families are warmly invited to bring your child/children for a Blessing on Easter Sunday Morning at 11am in New Cumnock Parish Church.
Children can be accompanied by their parents/carers/adult family member. If they would like to, they can be brought forward during the short service of celebration for a blessing.
Easter pictures drawn by children at the school will be on display and prizes will be handed out to children who are there. In addition books telling the Easter story will be available.
The service is designed for all ages and will last about 35 minutes.
We hope you can manage to come along on this very special day.

Scotland is well known for supporting people in need of refuge and safety.
Article 38 of the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child says that “governments around the world must do everything they can to protect and care for children affected by war and armed conflicts.”
This Friday (25/3/22), we are asking all children to come to school dressed in the colours of the Ukrainian flag- YELLOW and BLUE.
We are asking all those who are able, to pay a £1 donation via ParentPay for the Ukrainian Refugee Appeal.
Let’s raise as much money as possible and show our support for Ukrainian refugees.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in their YELLOW and BLUE outfits!
New Cumnock Fire Station have asked us to share with you this information about “Deliberate Firesetting”.

National Child Online Safety Campaign
A new National Child Online Safety Campaign launched on 8 February to coincide with Safer Internet Day. The campaign is being led by the Scottish Government with Child Protection Committees Scotland, Police Scotland and other a range of third sector partners.
The campaign aims to increase awareness of the importance of online safety to parents and carers of children aged 8-11 year olds, and reassure and inform them that the skills they apply offline to help keep their children safe can be used tohelp protect them online too.
A supporting Parent Club webpage includes practical ideas and advice for parents and the Parent Club toolkit sets out simple ways in which partner organisations can further support the campaign.
