A HUGH thanks to the volunteers from the community for helping our young people to take part in this community venture.
Also, thank you to Ochiltree Hub for providing children and volunteers with drinks and yummy shortbread. The children were delighted to make Ochiltree litter free!

Congratulations to Miss Mills ……. now Mrs Tweedly!! Doesn’t she look beautiful!
This term we have enjoyed Rugby sessions with Cumnock Rugby club. We have also had lots of fun learning about the myths and legends from Scotland, we even created our own mythical creature and wrote our own super stories about them. We are enjoying having music sessions with Mrs Hill on a Friday morning and these will continue next term.
Today we voted on our new topic which is going to be the Romans! We took part in an Easter Egg hunt with a maths twist! We had to answer the questions before we could crack the code!
Well done to all of Primary 4 for working so hard this term, we hope all parents and carers were pleased after parents night 🙂
Have a lovely spring break and I look forward to seeing you all back in April.

School Litter/Community Pick – Friday 21st April
Our children will be joining forces with the Hub and CAP to carry out a village litter pick on Friday 21st April. We will be leaving from the school on Friday 21st April at 11:15 a.m. and will return for lunch.
Please feel free to join in on the day to support us.
All children and volunteers are invited to the Hub at 1:30p.m. for refreshments.
Please send a change of clothes and footwear to school to allow children to take part in the litter pick.
Primary 5/6/7 had an exciting and unusual “strings” lesson today – find the rhythm imposter, mystery word and instrument imposters all using a computer and whiteboard.
Then a “crayons vs markers” duet rhythm pattern using drumsticks!
They loved it 100%!
Primary 5/6/7 went to “The Heritage Centre” which is based in Cumnock for a visit on Tuesday.
They all had a wonderful time listening to the volunteers explaining what certain items were. The “old” phones and school belt were a “hit”! Many of the pupils were fascinated by the steamroller and the roadman’s caravan.
Leaflets with all the information about the Centre were given to each child after the visit – phone up and arrange a visit!
Please note that if you have not yet purchased a ticket for the disco tomorrow, tickets are still available through Parentpay. No cash will collected at the door for admission tomorrow night.
Children can bring cash for the Parent Council Tuck Shop.
See the above poster for Dean Park, Easter Trail. By taking part you will also add to our Mission to the Moon, S-Miles.
Have fun.
Pupils from Primary 1/2 and Primary 2/3 exhibited all of the wonderful work they created at home and in the school for our dinosaur topic. The whole school visited our exhibition.

Help us change the world this weekend!
Can an Hour change the world?
Just 60 minutes? Yes, just one hour. It may not seem like much, but the magic happens when you, and those like you in Asia and Africa, North and South America, Oceania and Europe – supporters in over 190 countries and territories – all give an hour, creating the Biggest Hour for Earth.
By doing so, this Hour can shine an unmissable global spotlight on nature loss and climate change, and the need to work together to secure a brighter future for people and the planet.
Give an Hour for Earth by spending 60 minutes doing something – anything – positive for our planet.

P6/7 stitched a felt bird for a special person in their life. They had to learn how to cut a pattern out, pin it on to the felt and then cut it out very carefully.
Buttons were sewn on to the wings and running or back stitches were used to sew the sides together – life skills for the future!
Don’t you think they look bold, bright and brilliant birds?
P1/2 and P6/7 enjoyed visits from Philip Munro, Golden Eagle Project Scotland. They worked together to find about Golden Eagle features and habitats. They then produced detailed Golden Eagle and other birds of prey art work.

P5/6 and P6/7 welcomed Farmer Bryce of Mossgiel Milk and Mrs Morton of Morton’ s Milk to discuss all things dairy in the local area. Farmer Bryce shared information on his own farm, his ancestors and how dairy farming has progressed through the years. Mrs Morton shared with us the process of milking and all about her computerised farm shop which stocks lots of locally sourced goodies. We then welcomed Mark from SmartSTEM who showed us an experiment on how to separate fat from milk. A huge thank you to all of our visitors for taking the time to share their experiences with us.
