Thank you for your patience with me as I get used to assigning the books to the children. We have had a few questions and teething problems this week but hopefully as we become more familiar with using it things will settle down. I am not intending to replace books as I am a very avid reader and although I have a kindl I still love nothing more than a book. We use real books in class !
I am trying to provide a variety of texts for reading at home so the children get a bit of challenge . Please don’t feel pressure to read all texts every night….. but do please read daily . The children are doing so well with their literacy and their reading and writing skills improve each day. Please let me know what you think of this resource as I personally think it is a great way as it cuts down on missing books, forgotten books etc and allows the children a bit more choice. I will be interested at the end of the trial to hear your views as I would really like to get this a s a permanent resource. Happy reading.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will be marking Down Syndrome Awareness Day at Dalmellington Primary School and ECC. We would encourage pupils to wear odd socks tomorrow as a way of recognising this day. Classes will have the opportunity tomorrow to listen to stories and learn more about Down Syndrome.
Further information on Down Syndrome Awareness Day is available online, and can be found by clicking the following link, should you like more information yourself or to share with your family.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to sharing some photographs with you later in the week.
Primary 6/7 were full of enthusiasm today and enjoyed getting back into the swing of school life again.
Today we settled back into our routines and took time to discuss our lockdown experiences. The pupils enjoyed discussing their likes and dislikes from the past few months and were able to talk openly about their feelings about the school return.
Spelling was our task this morning and art was on the timetable this afternoon. We started artwork which will be displayed around our community later in the month. Look out for these soon!
Overall, a great first day back. Well done everyone! We cannot wait to do it all again tomorrow.
The House Captains have been planning ideas for Comic Relief day which is Friday 19th March. They have designed a bingo board challenge for the children to complete during the week beginning 15th March in the run up to Comic Relief Day.
The House Captains would like people to write/draw their favourite joke and place it in their window to share a smile. We will finish off the challenge on Friday with a Dance-a-thon for all the children in the primary and ECC to join in with. This will take place in the playground (weather permitting).
The share a smile poster and the bingo boards are added as links to this post. A suggested donation of 50p can be brought to school on Friday 19th March.
Just to clarify our pirate ship home school task. This is a bit of fun for you and your child. A wee project for you to work on together. There is no rush to send them to school as we shall not be testing them till the last week of this term. The question is can the ships sail on the water? How good is your design? Mrs Forsyth is also trying to make one at home with her lolly sticks and wine corks.
W e have had a couple in school already but you have plenty of time so enjoy. Here is a sneaky peek at Jaxon’s. Wow!
I think I might have to go back to the design stage!!
