P7 Residential Trip – Kit List

The time is getting closer for our P7s to head away on their Residential Trip, so to help with preparations, please find a Kit List attached with suggestions of what to pack.

Please remember, that children are responsible for taking their own luggage, so be wary to not overpack!

Please also note, all medication which is required to be taken which is not currently kept in school, must have a medical form completed by a parent/carer (these can be sourced from the main office) and medicine handed into school the Monday before we leave. Children should not be packing any medication in their luggage, this will be the responsibility of staff to carry.

Mobile phones and other forms of technology are not permitted. Mrs McNulty and Mr Burns will be taking lots of videos and pictures which will be shared on our communication platforms throughout the trip. Should you need to contact your child in an emergency, please contact the school and the school will contact Mrs McNulty or Mr Burns.

Our days and evenings will be filled with lots of activities, however should your child wish to take something to entertain themselves with, I would encourage bringing cards/dominoes/a book. Something that is small to fit in their luggage.

If you have any questions or queries. Please contact Mrs McNulty or Mr Burns.

World Book Day 2024 UPDATE

Apologies for the error in the previous post, World Book Day will be celebrated on THURSDAY next week, 7th March.

A wee reminder that chidlren are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character or wearing their pyjamas and bringing their favourite bedtime story.

On Monday next week, children will be visiting the Book Fair with their class to make their wish list. Parents/carers then have the opportunity to purchase the books online. (Instructions will be noted on the wish list sent home.)

Next Tuesday, we will be selling Bargain Books from the Book Fair, priced £2 or less. These will be cash only sales as these books cannot be reordered once purchased. Children will be given the chance to purchase from the Bargain Books stall on Tuesday only, so please send them with money on this day, should they wish to look.

We will be holding our Big Book Swap on Thursday. If you have any old books in good condition that your child no longer reads, please send them into school, any day from Monday. Mrs Clarke will issue your child with a ticket which will enable to be first to visit the book swap on Thursday to choose a new book.

In addition to this, running all of next week, we are having a ‘GET CAUGHT READING’ competition, where children are to upload a photograph of themselves reading in a different or unusual place, and add this to their Learning Journals as a Parental Contribution.

Our P7 Reading Schools Champions will then review the uploads and will choose a winner to receive a free book from the Book Fair! These photos must be uploaded by Wednesday and the winner will be shared on World Book Day, on Thursday.

Ayrshire Burns Competition 2024

Dear parents/carers of children who are entered in the Ayrshire Burns Schools Competition this Saturday.

I have received updated information regarding timings of the event. Please see below from Schools Convenor, Beth Kerr:

Numbers are high, especially in the Primary Verse Speaking sections and as a result we have decided to start registration earlier to allow time to process all entries. Registration will now start at 11am and close at 12.30pm.

We are also going to hold two welcome sessions, 12.35 and 12.50. It’s important that all families attend a welcome session in the Main assembly hall as vital safety information will be given at this time. The children will be informed at registration which welcome session they should attend.

In light of this information, I ask families to meet me in the main reception area at 11.30am. Bring a packed lunch with you and you can eat this whilst you wait before the welcome meeting. This will also give me time to meet with children and get photographs before we are all split into the different disciplines.

I have met with all children this week as part of our final preparations and they know which areas to work on, if any. I’m so proud of the progress they have made and the confidence they show in their performances!

Please remember children should be dressed in full school uniform on Saturday with a touch or tartan if they have any. I have tartan sashes should anyone need something on the day. We also have a bank of school shirts and ties here. Please email me or contact me at the school should you need any prior to the weekend.

Kind regards,

Mrs McNulty
