Assembly – Respect

At Assembly this week the children were talking about respect . This includes good listening, caring for others, encouraging each other and being pleased for each others’ successes.  It also means remembering to say please and thank you and being kind to each other.

We celebrated our wider achievements. If your child is doing anything outwith the school that the rest of the boys and girls would like to hear about at Assembly, please let the school know.

Next week at Assembly will be based on Fitness. Mrs Meek and our P4s will leading the school in this. We will also be talking about Harvest and the cost of the school day.

P5, 6 & 7 After School Football Training

Billy Alexander, Youth Coach from Ayr United Football Club  has once again volunteered to take The After School Football Training for P5, 6 & 7 pupils which begins on Monday 26th September 2022 from 3 – 4pm at Ochiltree Primary School. Unless the weather is particularly bad the sessions will be outside. Pupils should have an appropriate kit including shin guards and a warm waterproof jacket. Football boots cannot be worn indoors so your child may wish to bring a pair of trainers to wear indoors if the weather is bad. No football strips allowed. Pupils who have expressed an interest have been given letters and consent forms today.

Assembly Update

Eco-Committee News

We have noticed a lot of litter in our playground and around the school recently. To help with this, Lilianna and Jaxon suggested that volunteers from P2/3 could take turns doing a litter pick at lunchtime . Gloves and litter picks will be provided and M Renton will supervise. Children who wish to volunteer have been asked to give their names to the Eco- committee.

Anti-litter
To help stop littering around our village we are holding an anti-littering poster competition. A winner from each class will be selected and the winning posters will be displayed around the village.

Massage in Schools Programme
The children have been learning more massage strokes from the Massage in Schools programme at Assembly. P4 children were able to demonstrate the moves with a partner to the rest of the school.

Roald Dahl Day
This will be held on 14th September and the children will be able to come dressed up as their favourite Roald Dahl character and take part in different activities in class. Please do not feel that you have to send your child in costume – schoolchildren are key characters in “Matilda” so school uniform will also be a costume!
