We are absolutely delighted to announce we have been awarded our 5th Eco Schools Scotland Green Flag Award!
The feedback praised the fantastic work we have carried out during this journey. It was recognised how challenging these times have been and celebrated that we were able to keep our Eco-Schools work going on despite all. We covered all Seven Elements of the Eco-Schools programme. Despite the restrictions that have been in place, staff and pupils have shown commitment and determination in completing your planned actions.
Achieving a Green Flag Award means a good amount of versatility and commitment from staff and pupils. Our evidence showed that it has been a busy and impactful journey as the understanding and connection with making the world more sustainable has been very powerful and pupils have not only been taking actions in school but also within the community. Staff has helped to create a nurturing, inclusive, innovative, and stimulating learning environment, and a respectful and positive ethos by working closely with everyone in the school community. We have taken a unique chance to reflect on our findings, reflecting on what the pupils have learned and how to go forward.
All pupils benefited from a wide range of challenging, motivating, meaningful and fun learning experiences which support them to develop creativity, resilience, and independence. Pupils have learned how they can take action on a local and global scale to develop a more sustainable lifestyle for the benefit and preservation of the planet. Their efforts throughout the journey should support them to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens, and effective contributors.
With our upcoming Christmas Fair on Saturday 26th November, we are on the look out for the following donations…
We will be taking donations from Monday 14th November. These can be given to your child’s class teacher or handed in at the main office. (Please note that alcohol donations should not be sent in with children and should be handed in at the main office by parents/carers.)
With the cold weather fast approaching, we believe that every child should have a warm jacket for winter.
Please help us to make this happen by donating your out-grown jackets and we will find a child at New Cumnock Primary who can reuse it. Either send these in with your child to school or hand them in to the main office.
If you have a child at home who needs a winter jacket, we want to help you!
We will have the donated jackets stored in our Parents Room which you can access at any point during the school day, just come to the main office.
Alternatively, please complete the form below and state the gender and size of jacket you require and we will try our best to source one for you and send it home with your child.

Please could you take some time to fill in our Developing the Young Workforce parent consultation form.
Our P7 Captains and Vice Captains will be on hand at Parent’s Evening with IPads to allow parent’s the opportunity to complete this Glow FORM.
Apologies for the delay, but our Literacy and Numeracy parental packs have now been sent home with every ‘oldest and only’ child in the school, thus ensuring we have both packs sent home to every one of our families.
We hope you find the information and activities in these helpful! If you have any questions about the content in these, please contact Mrs McNulty on danielle.mcnulty@eastayrshire.org.uk.
Thank you again for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s learning.
With Halloween just around the corner, and our school Halloween Fun Day this Friday 28th October, you’ve probably been thinking about what your child will want to dress up as this year?
We are so grateful for the kind donations of unwanted costumes, which we made available to our families at our Clothing Recycling Station, located in our Parent’s Room today!
If you were unable to attend today and would like to take a costume free of charge, we will be opening our Clothing Recycling Station once again tomorrow (Thursday) from 3pm-3.30pm. Please enter via the school main entrance.
In a world of fast fashions and rising costs, let’s work together to save money and be kinder to our environment!
With Halloween just around the corner, and our school Halloween Fun Day on Friday 28th October, you’ve probably started to think about what your child will dress up as this year?
Do you have any old dress up costumes at home that no longer fit? Do you need something new for this Halloween? If so, then we want to hear from you!
We will be accepting any donations of unwanted costumes, which we will then make available to our families at our Clothing Recycling Station, located in our Parent’s Room.
Any donations of fancy dress costumes would be greatly appreciated and accepted at the school main office up until Tuesday 25th October.
On Wednesday 26th October, parents/carers will be welcomed into our Parents Room at 3pm where you will be able to see what we have available and can take free of charge. (Please enter via the main entrance)

Over the past several weeks we have been delighted to welcome our families back into school to visit our classrooms and have our pupils discuss their learning in Literacy and Numeracy with you.
We have been overwhelmed at how many of our families have been able to join us and we hope that you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!
Please keep an eye out for Parent Literacy and Numeracy packs which will be sent home with ‘oldest and only’ children, ensuring you have 1 per family. You will find useful information about our delivery of these subjects, some of the terminology explained and some examples of activities you can try at home with your child.
We are looking forward to many more opportunities to welcome you into school over this session. Don’t forget to check out our Parental Involvement calendar to note down the many opportunities we have to welcome you in to school this year.
