Onthank Primary Visit

Last week (Friday 28th February) Alan Brown MP visited Onthank Primary in Kilmarnock.

The representative for Kilmarnock and Loudoun met with the school’s Primary 3 class to take part in a Q&A session. Mr Brown also posed with the pupils to promote World Book Day which takes place this Thursday (5th March).

In its 23rd year, the aim of World Book Day is to encourage children to read and giving them the opportunity to own a book of their own.

Commenting, Mr Brown said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Onthank Primary, it’s always great to go into schools and engage with pupils.

“As always, question and answer sessions are never easy - the pupils certainly put me on the hot seat with some of their questions!

“I was given a tour from some of the students who showed me about the building and I was able to see the top-class work the school has been doing. I was also interested to hear from the class on their current topic of study, Scotland.

“It was great to hear the knowledge the Primary 3s had of their country and I was also asked questions on what my favourite aspects Scotland are.

“The passion and enthusiasm to learn were clear to see and I look forward to seeing how the school and pupils progress.”
