It is hard to believe we have already been back for 2 weeks!

Our P1s are settling in really well and are already showing that they are enthusiastic learners.

Please look at our Sway to see some of their learning in week 1.  (Link at the bottom)

Hopefully, you will have read our notice on the app that we have changed the focus of our Golden Book this session.  The emphasis is very much on our school values and recognising the efforts that our learners make to live these values in their daily lives.

The first nominations this session were;

Autumn – Respect, Marlene – Respect, Alfie S – Respect, Ada – Harmony, Mya L – Respect, Oliver S – Ambition, Kioni – Ambition, Cerys – Harmony, Myia B – Respect, Brooklyn – Faith, Callagh – Faith

All learners are now in house groups and some of our P7s will deliver speeches on Tuesday in an election to become House Captains.

Wider Achievements

Remember to keep sharing your child’s achievements from out of school with us. OSCARs form  This form can also be found in the survey section of the app.

Well done to Farrah for her dancing presentation and sharing her medal at assembly, Shaun for his boxing medal and to Codi who will perform as part of this year’s junior ensemble for the Panto at the Palace Theatre, Kilmarnock.  We are so proud of you all.

We will be starting new breakfast blethers alongside our home link worker, Nicola.  These are an opportunity to come into school meet with Nicola and find support or even just another adult to have a conversation with.  It is really informal.  Come along with a friend or come along on your own.   We can help fill in school forms and set up the school app or ParentPay.  Help find out about kids’ clubs and other family supports in the area.   We will also invite our financial inclusion assistant along to some sessions.  She can ensure that you have access to all the financial support available.  Please see the attached flyer.  The first one will take place on Monday 18th September.

Frank from SCIAF visited P7 this afternoon to launch their Talented Fundraiser campaign. St. Patrick’s have been supporting SCIAF since 1993! Every year for 30 years!  Amazing!
