EAC Loanhead Primary School

Please note that the date for school photographs will be Thursday 2nd May 2024.

Thanks for your continued support.

Here is the Action for Happiness' Active April calendar which comes along just in time for the school holidays, and hopefully, some better weather to get out and about and enjoy some outdoor time. Wishing everyone an Active April.

Before finishing on Thursday, we celebrated our final 'Pupils of the Week' for the term, so, here are the latest Loanhead learners leading by example.

Continuing their learning about, People Who Help Us , Primary 1 recently enjoyed a visit from Morag from Crosshouse Children's Fund. Morag wanted to share Cammy the teddy bear's hospital experience. Primary 1 learned that hospitals are for helping people and that they don't need to be afraid. They also learned that teachers can work in hospitals to help children with their learning. At the end of the session, Primary 1 were awarded with their very own Ted-ical degree! 😎

Earlier this month, Primary 1 enjoyed a visit from Mrs Gebbie, a local vet, as they continued their People Who Help Us topic. Mrs Gebbie shared her experience as a vet and told the children lots of interesting facts. Mrs Gebbie loved looking at all of our stuffed animals and explained how she could help them. Following her visit, it seems we have a few budding vets in our midst!

Well done to all of our lovely learners leading the way as, Successful Learners, Effective Contributors, Responsible Citizens & Confident Individuals to achieve enough personal points by achieving their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards...

WELL DONE EVERYONE for leading the way and improving your community through all of your activities.

It's been an amazing term full of reasons to celebrate.

Here is the list of names from this week's Celebrate Assembly. Well done every one of our Loanhead Learners Leading the way demonstrating our school values.

There were a few certificates returned to Ms McCulloch's room of children who did not receive these during assembly. These may be collected by learners at any time. 🤩

Ford Castle... one group's journey across some of the activities they enjoyed. It was a week full of rain but none of it dampened their spirits. The focus across the week was to try something new and push yourself out of your comfort zone! It is clear from the pictures collated that each and every learner did just that! They also strengthened communication and teamwork skills as well as forming new friendships. Skills for life... more photos will be posted next weekend ... keep your eyes peeled 😎

..and if you are still missing some clothing or items which did not return we have some left in the school waiting for owners to reclaim them. 🤭

To conclude our Red Nose Day celebrations the winners of our poster competition were announced at assembly yesterday. The judges had a hard time choosing from the amazing selection we had! The day was full of fun and enjoyed by all.

Congratulations to all of our successful poster winners:
P1 - Cayden
