Heads of Ayr Farm Park
It’s been another fun day as we had our whole school trip to the Heads of Ayr Farm Park.
We had great fun seeing all of the animals, playing in the sunshine & cooling ourselves down at the Combine Harvester.
Cumnock Heritage Centre and Emergency One
Our P6 class visited Cumnock Heritage Museum and Emergency One to learn about transport developments over time and explore “My World of Work”.
At the museum, we discovered how transport has changed from early horse-drawn carts and steam engines to modern cars and emergency vehicles. We saw how improvements in design, speed and safety have made travel and rescue services much more efficient over the years.
At Emergency One, we learned how fire engines are designed and built for different emergency situations, and how teamwork, engineering and technology all play a part in keeping communities safe. It was interesting to see real-life links between what we learn in class and jobs in engineering and manufacturing.
The visit helped us understand how transport has developed and gave us a better idea of the skills and careers involved in creating and using modern emergency vehicles.
Weekly Round-up
We have had a super busy but exciting week in P6.
On Monday we had the Chess Championship final, which saw Jamie being crowned as our Chess Champion of 2026. We also had a visit from the RNLI where we were learning all about water safety. We also had a visit from the Oral Health team where we were learning about the best way to look after our teeth, and the different foods and drinks that are best for our teeth.
On Tuesday we spent the day in our houses. We got to take part in different activities throughout the day such as litter picking, kahoot quiz, a fantastic visit from Eddie and Amy from The Cotton Trail and some fantastic Commonwealth Games art activities.
On Wednesday we had a visit from Rebecca who is an optometrist at Shaw Eye Care. We were learning all about our eyes and the importance of getting our eyes tested and checked regularly. We also had a visit from Gerry, who works for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, he was teaching us all about fire safety, showing us some of the equipment that is used by firefighters and the importance of having fitted working smoke alarms in our houses.
On Thursday we had our Family Fun Day & a visit from a chef who works at Lochside House Hotel. Finally we finished off our week with some Laser Tag & a wonderful silent disco.
Weekly Round-up
This week we’ve been very busy. We had a visit to Loch Doon to learn about water safety. We were learning about CPR from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, the Coastguard were teaching us about Throw Lines and how to use them. We were also learning about the risks and dangers associated with open water.
We were also putting our leadership skills to the test by setting up and running a Health and Wellbeing event for our buddies from the ECC.
