No one was more surprised with our Scottish weather than all of the Primary 2 teachers on Friday morning last week! It was a close call but we were delighted that the weather stayed dry enough for us to go ahead with our much anticipated Highland Games. The pupils had a fabulous time and they competed amazingly well.
Click the video link below to see the highlights of our surprisingly dry day.
Congratulations to everyone involved and well done to our winning clan!

We hope you have all had a good few days off with your families. Due to the February holiday we only have two days of school this week. There will be no VScene calls or Pupil of the Day this week but our First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has decided that we should return to school on Monday.
We’re delighted to welcome you all back and in the meantime, Homework Buddies, could you please help us to prepare the children for their return.
The Management Team have requested the following:-
How can I help?
As a final helpful list to parents, can you please support us by:
· Reinforcing hygiene measures and social distancing with your child(ren).
· Having your child(ren) bring tissues to school to capture any coughs or sneezes.
· Ensuring your child does not bring unnecessary items to school.
· Reinforcing positive, safe relationships between all children and our staff.
· Dropping your child off at school gates and allowing them to enter the playground area independently.
· Understanding that we are not permitted to allow visitors in school buildings, other than in emergency or other exceptional circumstances.
Until then kids, we want you to have some fun activities and tasks to do which will remind you about how to keep safe on our return. You can have a look through the Learning Grid to see what activities you could complete and then send them on to your class teacher.

It’s been so long since we last saw each other! There are a lot of different emotions and if you’ve felt different things since being away from school then it’s ok.
Well done, Primary 2! Your teachers are loving all the fantastic work you have been sharing and we want to encourage you to keep it up.
Thank you to all Homework Buddies who completed the survey on remote learning. We appreciate your feedback and in response to this have made some changes which you will be able to see over the coming weeks.
We’ve seen so many great pieces of work this week and wanted to ask, if you had made a poster about a Scottish animal, could you please keep your poster safe and bring it into school when we’re allowed to be back together again. Your teachers would love to put them up on the wall to show off all your great research skills!
Each week your class teacher emails out names for Pupil of the Day.
Could we remind you to fill in the form contained in the email link and return it before the Sunday of that week so a personalised certificate can be created for each Pupil of the Day from their friends.
These really cheered the pupils up last week.
Random Act of Kindness Day
Usually we give you a task to help out at home or to help learn a life skill but this week we have something a little different. We have been doing lots of work on kindness throughout this year but there is a day where we celebrate this nationally and this week sees the Random Act of Kindness Day for 2021. It would be lovely to see you all carry out a random act of kindness for someone with the hope of putting a big smile on their faces, especially during these challenging times.

It is now February and to begin this week’s blog we would like to say a massive THANK YOU and WELL DONE to everyone who submitted a Scottish Poem in honour of Burn’s Day 2021.
It wasn’t our usual celebration but we want to say CONGRATULATIONS to Macie from Mrs Saxelby’s class for being our overall Primary 2 WINNER!
It was a delight to watch you recite and perform your poem to the audience who attended the Scottish Quiz on Friday evening. It truly was an enjoyable night and if you enjoy a quiz we would most definitely recommend joining the Zoom call the next time one is organised by Mr Swan!
East Ayrshire Council have again organised VScene activities that you can opt to join throughout the week. Check the following Links for further information.
For those of you that have laced up shoes at school, we would like you to begin learning to tie your laces. The teachers are always very grateful if they have helpers who can help with tying shoes. We’re very proud of every one of you who are able to tie your own shoes. Let’s use Lockdown 2021 to learn this vital skill! Practise every day and before you know it, you’ll be able to tie your own laces!
