Today P3/4 visited Lakehead Farm in Closeburn with RHET. We have been learning about technology in the workplace. Sam, Jess and Amy showed us around the farm. They showed us technology they use to assist with looking after the cows.

Children in Need 2024
Today we held a coffee afternoon and baking competition to raise money for Children in Need.
Maths Week Scotland 2024
As a whole school the Dunscore learners worked together in groups on some outdoor maths challenges. As you can see from the pictures they had a great time and participated in some excellent learning.
They also took part in a number of the MWS events/ activities:
P1-2 and P3-4 also joined in with one of the online events and created a zine. Some of the pupils found this very tricky but we got there and then we completed our maths stories. We all worked together to come up with some ideas of what we could put in it. Some of our ideas included going into the hall to see who the tallest pupil was, what our favourite shape was and could we make our own pattern.
P1-2 and P3-4 joined in with Collie Tales which was very exciting and the pupils loved seeing what they had been up to. We also joined in with ‘Super Questers’ and this was a great hit and we are now looking at purchasing the other books in the series.
P1-2 made number pictures as you can see from the pictures. They all concentrated very hard and worked well to complete them.
P5-7 joined in with a live escape room and had great fun.
