School Garden Progress – Thank you Shire Housing, NCDT and New Cumnock Community Garden Group!
Our DEN group have been working hard on their Community Partnership this session. We have worked closely with the New Cumnock Development Trust to bring about a positive change in our local community and represent ourselves as positive role models within our community, setting the same example to our peers.
We were kindly gifted £500 from Shire Housing and have used the money to buy outdoor paint which we have used to spruce up our school planter located in the New Cumnock Community Garden and to make our playground Friendship Stop bright, colourful and attractive to the pupils in our school. We have received so many compliments on it already. It really stands out in our playground and the fact that it looks so nice is making boys and girls want to visit it.
We have also used some of the money to purchase plants from the Netherthird Community Garden Group (supporting another local business). We are working closely with the New Cumnock Gardening Group who are volunteering to support us in developing our school garden. They gave us their expertise to help us pick plants which would be best for our school garden. We have spent a few days now working on our garden, making sure the soil is weed free, prepped and cultivated ready for planting. We can’t wait to show you all the finished result!
A huge thank you to each of the volunteers from the New Cumnock Community Garden Group, Alan from Shire Housing and Tammy from the New Cumnock Development Trust for your help and support with this project!
Mr McClure’s Leg Wax
The moment we have all been waiting for…
After all of your wonderful efforts to fundraise for Cash for Kids, Mr McClure has stayed true to his word and got his legs waxed for our entertainment! 🤩
A huge thank you to Loren from the Beauty Room in Cumnock for doing the deed for us, I think she enjoyed it as much as Mrs McNulty did filming it! 🤣
Scotland Euro 2021 Celebrations
Today we enjoyed celebrating Scotland participating in the European Championships by coming to school wearing Scotland strips or blue, white or tartan clothing.
We got into the spirit by streaming the game live in our classes this afternoon.
While it wasn’t the result we were looking for today, what an achievement for the team to make it to this stage for the first time in 23 years and amazing to see so much team work and support for our country!
