Alternatively if you would like us to share any photographs or videos of your child’s achievements, please email these to eaochiltree.ps@eastayrshire.org.uk by 3pm on Thursday 3rd September.
We look forward to celebrating the success of our pupils!

P1/2: Tuesday and Thursday

P5/6: Wednesday and Friday

A reminder that, in line with East Ayrshire’s guidelines, jewellery is not permitted during PE. Earrings should preferably be removed. If this is not possible, they can be taped over, or pupils can bring tape to cover them. Removal or taping of earrings is the responsibility of parents/carers or the child if they are able to do this themselves.
It would also be helpful if long hair is tied back and loose clothing is secured for PE.
Pupils can either come dressed for PE, wear their kit underneath their clothing or leave their PE kit in school to change into when needed.
