We were delighted to have a visit from Chris from the SSPCA on Friday to both our infant and upper Get2gethers.
He told us all about the charity and what we should do if we suspect an animal is in danger. Our free pencils and stickers will be useful for reminding us of the telephone number should we ever need it!
This session New Cumnock Primary School are taking part Anti-Bullying Week Scotland and in the Respect Me, ‘Listen Up!’ campaign. Watch the video below to find out a bit more about the event.
We will start the week with an Anti-Bullying Get2gether, led by Mrs McMurdo. Throughout the week all classes will take part in activities that will promote anti-bullying messages.
This session we will also be working on the pledge below to ensure we are tackling bullying effectively should it occur in our school. We promise to keep you up to date with our progress across the session.
We are delighted to announce our netball and basketball sessions will be running until the week beginning 5th December. These classes are FREE and are open to all P4-P7 pupils.
Our Parent’s Group are looking for donations of wool to help with our Christmas craft sessions. Preferably in festive colours of red and green if possible, however, we would be delighted with any donations.
If you can help us, please send in your wool with your child to give to Mrs Bradford or Mrs McNulty.
We were delighted to welcome Christine Wilson and our local minister Ken Yorke to NCPS to our Friday Get2gether. They spoke to the children about special memories, including what we should remember when we see the poppy. The children were reminded that poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it. House Captains will continue to go round classes this week to collect donations for Poppy Scotland.
Our group of parents and teachers who have formed to create our Respect Me, Anti-Bullying group, attended training last Wednesday 2nd November from 6.30 till 7.45, run by the Scottish Attainment Challenge team.
Please follow our Blog in the near future for more information. This session we are working together to raise awareness of respectful relationships and anti-bullying.
A massive well done to our very own Mrs B (Mrs Bradford) who graduated last Saturday with a SCOTACS Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork. Everyone at New Cumnock PS is so proud of you and all you have achieved.
