Onthank was On Form in 2018!

As 2018 draws to a successful end, we wanted to celebrate all of our achievements so far in the current school session.

Some of our highlights include; launching our 60th Birthday celebrations, success at the Ayrshire Athletics Final and Swimming Gala, our DFS week, outdoor learning opportunities and class excursions.

Our P2 Nativity, P3 Carol Concert and P5-7 Greatest Show brought over 1,000 members of the Onthank community into our school and as we move into 2019 this is a testament to Onthank Primary being at the heart of the community. 

Onthank – On Form – On Time in 2019.

P5i No Pens Day – and other news

How did we cope without pens today? Well going by the enthusiastic response of the pupils, very well actually.

With the help of snap cards, jigsaws, dominoes,  division cards, general  knowledge quiz, literacy criterion,  problem solving, critical thinking,  and teamwork, learning for pleasure was the order of the day. And not a pencil to be seen. All children participated fully in all aspects of their learning today – and had fun. We even had a visit from the SSPCA to round off our day.

PARENT’S EVENING appointments have been allocated and children should have a note of times in their school bags. Thanks to those who have responded and I look forward to meeting you all next Tuesday. There are still a few slots available between 4:30 and 5:50  if you haven’t been in touch yet.

DUNDONALD CASTLE.  A super day is in store for all tomorrow. It is a fun packed day where children will dress up, act out and discover what life was like in medieval times.  As we  will be outdoors, children should wear rain jackets and school uniforms. Trainers are ideal for walking around the castle and grounds.

I hope you like the photos that helped capture how busy we all were today.
