What a fabulous afternoon we had celebrating our 10th Garden Party anniversary.  Thank you to all of our parents and friends who turned up to support the weather despite the cold.  We welcomed friends from St Mark’s primary, James McFarlane school, Willowbank school, Southcraig campus in Ayr and it was lovely to see the return of former pupils and parents.

Classes participated in a mini ‘chelsea’ gardening event where they had to create a mini garden.  Their efforts were judged by Kathleen from Dobbie’s Garden Centre who found it very difficult to make a decision about who the winner was.  However the certificate had to go to someone and Mull Class were chosen for their fantastic Old McDonald themed farm garden.  GF was delighted with his medal and was signing thumbs up all afternoon!  We also had a cheque presented to us from Irvine Trades Incorporated for a massive £1500.

The weather certainly did not dampen our spirits and stop us from having a great time.  We also managed to raise £112 for Ayrshire Hospice from our home baking stall.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, baked, donated goodies, we very much appreciate it.  A big thank you to our very own Mrs Clark who led and organised the enterprise event.

 Well done to Mull class who represented the school at James McFarlane’s annual Garden Fayre. Mrs Moncrieff was very proud of how well behaved the whole class were and Mrs Gribben received a phone call from Mrs Clark, Headteacher of James McFarlane who reported that the class were “a credit to the school”.

STARS!! 

Remember everyone that our very special Garden party is on Tuesday 2nd June where Kathleen from Dobbies will judge our garden competition and Derek Murdoch from Irvine Trades will present the school with a cheque.  Let’s hope the sun will shine for us. Please come along and support our school.

A huge thank you to the Porthead Social club who have donated a£1000 to our school. We very much appreciate that we were one of 4 charities selected to receive a cheque. The money will be used to update literacy resources For all of our children and young people.

A new guide has been uploaded into the Parent guides section on the For Parents tab.  The guide is to provide parents with a brief introduction to GIRFEC, the Wheel of wellbeing (SHANARRI) and the My world triangle.

Just a reminder that the school is closed on Monday 26th May.  Happy Bank Holiday!

Thank you to all who attended Parent’s evening on the 19th of May.  If you did not manage to make it along, feel free to contact your child’s class teacher to arrange an appointment.

Thank you to everyone who came along the Morrison’s Bag Pack on Saturday 16th May.  We raised a grand total of £774.64 and that has helped us to achieve the £10,500 needed to refurbish and upgrade the snozelen.

A very special thanks to the efforts of the Parent Council, led by Christina Larsen,  who have been relentless in the their fund-raising activities over the past year and a half.

Here are the winners of the ‘healthy cook off’ preparing the winning dish for the finale of food and health week. Mrs Gribben and John aka taxi driver (day job) and mary berry’s assistant (night job), helped to judge the efforts of all of the classes.  Delights included; stuffed peppers, banana bread, smoothies, crudités and dips! John selected the winning  dish of the fruit kebabs as you can see above. The golden spoon was presented making Arran class very happy

What a brilliant way to end the week and a huge thank you to all of our partners for their help during the week.
