Sibling Fun and Lockdown Highlights of Home Learning

Good afternoon, I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying this beautiful weather.

I received an email showing these two adorable siblings enjoying so many fabulous home learning experiences and apparently these are just the highlights of what they have been doing in the last few weeks of closure

The little brother has mostly been following the P1 curriculum, as he always wants to do what is big sister is doing and big sister has been very positively role modelling and supporting him.

Sadly to begin with, they were at home for 2 weeks self isolating as the little brother was poorly, but they still managed to be outside in the garden every day, where they learnt about garden birds and made a bug hotel and hedgehog house.

Mummy reports he is now much better and they been spending as much time as possible outside, exploring and having adventures in Dunlop’s enchanted forest and fairy glen.

They have released their butterflies and they also enjoyed watching on the blog, Mrs Gray’s butterflies.

Last week they learned about WW2 and VE Day, including interviewing the children’s Nanny (mum’s mum) about what her parents did during the war.

They made junk model spitfires and V2 rockets and even had a mock air raid in their basement with snacks and torches. They finished the week with a VE Day party, including enjoying homemade scones and trifle. The children have loved it so much, they have been asking every day when they can have another VE Day party!

I’m sure you will all agree, these are super photographs! It is lovely to see the children so busy, happy, having fun and doing lots of amazing learning.

with kind regards, Mrs Nouillan

Happy 100th Birthday Colonel Tom

Happy 100th Birthday Colonel Tom, we salute you!

Today the children in the Kilmaurs/Dunlop Hub school have been researching this wonderful man and they have also made him birthday cards which are now in the post (a little late but better late than never!!)

We wish Colonel Tom a wonderful day and we hope he is enjoying lots of cake as he reads some of his 150,000 birthday cards.

And, huge congratulations to you on your new Colonel title, we all think it is very well deserved. The children of the hub think you too are a hero!

Sibling Home Learning Fun

Good morning and isn’t it lovely to see these two having so much fun with their home learning!

These two adorable siblings have been busy with baking, science, planting, arts and crafts and they are even helping out with dishes! I also spy a Spring Scavenger sheet too!

I say it all the time, but we are really missing being at school and being with the children so it is so lovely for us all to see photographs of them!

I look forward to receiving more photographs to add to our blog.

with warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan

Lots of Fun in the Sun

Good afternoon,

I have received lots of photos showing a very busy boy!  His mum says he is missing the nursery but is keeping busy!  He is playing outside a lot, he has learned to ride his bike without stabilisers, he has been creative in the garden, had lots of water fun and found a butterfly!

It looks like he is having lots of fun in the sun!

We love seeing the children, so please send us your photographs for us all to enjoy!

with kind regards, Mrs Nouillan

Fun Home Learning

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the sunny weather and having lots of fun in your garden or just enjoying a community walk.

Today I received photographs from two delightful brothers and they have been having lots of fun together and playing in their garden.  They have also been taking their dogs, George and Mildred on walks (if you are a child of the 70s you’ll know!!) although Mildred is taking it easy as she is recovering from an operation so only gentle walks for her!

It is so lovely for us to see the children of Dunlop Primary and ECC and I welcome all your photos for me to add to the blog.

with warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying some lovely sunshine, although it is a little cold so if you are outdoors, then wrap up warm.

I hope you have been enjoying some of the activities I have shared on the app, especially this week’s Spring theme..there were lots of super activities to keep little ones busy and entertained.

I received a lovely email from a family and they have shared lots of photographs of their fun learning, they have been busy in their home, garden and also enjoying their community walks and it looks like they met a bear too!

Please remember, you are most welcome to send me your photographs and I will add them to our blog..it would be lovely for us to see the children as we miss them so much.
