Sticky Fingers After-School Club

Dear Parent/Carer

New Cumnock Primary School are delighted to inform you that we will be running a new after-school club based around Emotional Literacy which will be open to all p2 and p3 children. This will help support our children to understand and express their emotions and feelings in a positive and helpful manner, within a safe, nurturing and fun environment.

Each session will include an after-school healthy snack which children will be able to enjoy during the delivery of a specific emotion based story. This will then be followed with a linked craft.

Sessions will take place every Tuesday from 25th April until 23rd May from 3:00 till 4:15.

If you would like your child to take part, please sign the slip attached to the letter which your child will be given tomorrow and hand back in to school before Friday 21st April. You will be contacted on Monday 24th if your child has been allocated a space.

Kind Regards

Mrs L Ramsay and Mrs T Bradford

Planet Picnic

 

The Eco Rich Task Group have been planning and organising a Planet Picnic for Thursday 30th March 2023.  This will be a celebration of ways in which we can look after the environment.  This picnic will run from 11-11:30am and the children are being asked to bring in snacks and drinks that are packaged in a sustainable way.  It would also be good if the food brought could be locally produced as food miles are a big consideration when thinking about protecting our planet.  The Rich Task Group have created activities to be done during the event and there will be a competition to design and win a ‘customised’ reusable bottle! As it is a picnic it would be great if the children could bring a picnic blanket.

Thank you again for your continued support!

Mrs Petrie and Mrs Clapperton

FAB Friday 24/3/23

Today we celebrated our pupils Wider Achievements at our FAB Friday Get Together. We loved learning more about each others hobbies and successes out of school. From football and horse riding to gymnastics and dancing, we have a lot of talented children at New Cumnock Primary!

Well done to all who shared their achievements with their peers!

HEAD LICE

Dear Parents/Carers,Recently, cases of head lice have been identified across the school and we wanted to make sure you were kept informed.

Whilst lice are nothing more than a nuisance, it is important that children are checked on a weekly basis so that any head lice can be dealt with quickly and before they are allowed to spread.

We suggest that you check your child’s head regularly.

Here is some simple advice you may wish to follow to keep head lice at bay.

  • Check your child’s hair once a week.
  • Use a proper detection comb. The comb is usually white in colour so that lice can be easily identified.
  • If you find live lice, visit the Pharmacy where you will be able to access the treatment under the minor ailments scheme and remember to check the whole family.
  • Further advice on the treatment of head lice can be found on NHS website            Head lice and nits – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
