Our P6 pupils will be embarking on a mission to Dean Castle Country Park on Tuesday 14th May to be Danger Detectives.
Parents are reminded to return consent forms to the school as soon as possible.
As the pupils will be out of school all day, a packed lunch will be required. Should you wish to order an East Ayrshire provided school lunch, please place your order via ParentPay by no later than 8am on Monday 13th May. Please do not place an order on ParentPay if your child is bringing a packed lunch along from home.
As the weather is so variable, it would be advisable to bring along a waterproof jacket and suitable waterproof footwear, as well as sunscreen. Who knows what surprises the weather may bring.

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is taking place 11th – 22nd March 2024
Ochiltree Primary School will be joining in with the 15th year celebration of the UK’s biggest inter-school walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling to school competition.
What is Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel?
Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world.
On each day of the challenge, schools compete to see who can get the highest percentage of their pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school.
The school’s best five days will determine our final position.
Join us by walking or rolling to school and let’s see how many active journeys our pupils can make?
