Mrs B

Mrs Johnstone’s  Primary 1A’s have now achieved their Bronze Award in Wider Achievements.

Well done!😃⭐️

They will all now be working on their Silver award, which will require some support from home. Details of fortnightly targets are on the P1A Wider Achievement tab within the class information area.

Being seen is very important for road safety. Many serious accidents happen because drivers do not see other road users until it is too late!

Friday 26^th November is Be Safe Be Seen Day and Primary 6 would like to invite pupils and staff to wear bright clothing and accessories to school.  You could even wear traffic light colours!

The JRSOs have been busy during Road Safety Week!

They have created this short presentation with some road safety tips to help keep pupils safe on their journey to school.

They also need your help to create a Road Safety Mascot.  Please get creative and enter their competition!  There will be prizes for the winning entries. Closing date for the competition is Thursday 2nd December.

Road Safety week 15-19th November

Next week the school will be taking part in Road Safety week, our JRSO officers have been busy organising different activities for the whole school to take part in.

Throughout the week P1a and P1b will be learning all about road safety through the programme Kerbcraft. The JRSO officers will be involved in this, helping the trained staff to deliver the learning.

Every class will be involved in activities such as

• Design Road Safety Heroes for the JRSO noticeboard
• Design a New Cumnock Road Safety Mascot. The JRSO officers decided to make this a homework task to get parents/careers involved. We are looking forward to all the super Mascot ideas you have!!
• JRSO officers will be presenting a PowerPoint to each class

Photographs celebrating the week will be posted here the following week.

Next Friday, 19th November, we are asking our children and staff to  come to school wearing a touch of sparkle/glitz.   In return we are asking you to make a small donation to the Children in Need charity.  Information to follow regarding payment.  No money should be brought into school.  Thank you for your ongoing support.

Next week, each class will be participating in Anti-Bullying Week.  Each day, every child will write on a post it note, an act of kidness that they have carried out or someone has carried out towards them and add it to their class bucket.  On Friday Mrs McMurdo will visit each class to celebrate this positive behaviour.  Each class will also be tuning in to watch a theatre performance with the theme of bullying.
