NCPS Tartan Trek 25/1/24

Leave a comment

Next Thursday 25th January, on Robert Burns’ birthday, the whole school will be taking part in a ‘Tartan Trek’.

The walk will start at the school and go around the Knockshinnoch lagoons before returning back to school before the end of the school day.

We will be leaving school at 1.30pm, so please look out for us and give us a toot or a wave at your windows as we pass by!

We are encouraging everyone to wear tartan on this day in honour of Robert Burns’ birthday, but please also be mindful of the outdoor weather and ensure your child is dressed appropriately for being outside too.

This will be a sponsored event. Sponsor forms will be coming home today and we are encouraging children to ask friends and family if they would like to sponsor them for participating in this walk. Money should be brought to school next Thursday morning where it will be collected in by your child’s class teacher.

All money raised by the walk will go towards our school funds.

Upon our return to school, children will be treated to a drink and a snack which is very kindly being gifted to us from the New Cumnock Development Trust – thank you in advance for this!

We are looking for parent helpers to accompany us on our walk, so if you are free next Thursday afternoon and would like to help, please ring the school and we will pop your name down to come along.

Thank you in advance for your support with this whole school fundraising event!

Parents/carers, we need your help!

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!

School Pantomime Trip 2023

Leave a comment

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.
