John Muir Award
This session Primary 6 and 7 are going to be working towards their John Muir award. This award asks us to discover a wild place within our local environment and explore all it has to offer. If you would like to know more about this please follow the link https://www.johnmuirtrust.org/john-muir-award
In Dunlop we are incredibly fortunate that we have so many beautiful spots on our doorstep for us all to discover.
On Wednesday both classes ventured down to the Millennium Woods. Whilst we were there the children were asked to sketch a particular viewpoint, which when back in the class they would paint in watercolours. Their second task was to write down a variety of descriptions, using their senses. These descriptions will be used to create a piece of creative writing.
As we work towards the award the children will be given the opportunity to suggest ideas and we are really looking forward to hearing what they come up with.
Primary 7 – Chocolate Apprentice Style Challenge
Primary 7 were assigned a team challenge of creating their own chocolate bar. After coming up with the ingredients, they then had to create the name of their bar and design a wrapper which would appeal to consumers. Finally they had to create their persuasive pitch to convince consumers (primary 5 and 6) to choose their product. This pitch was recorded and then shown to the classes via Teams.
The most votes went to the 50/50 bar.
Well done to all P7 – you all blew me away with your creative ideas and team work.
Happy Harvest Helpers!
Dear Kind Families of Dunlop
Thank you so much for your donations to our Harvest Collection, the photographs speak for themselves!
May we offer a huge thank you to you for your very generous support and The Salvation Army also extends a huge thank you too. They asked me to say, there will be many families and people from the East Ayrshire area who benefit from your kindness.
Some of our P1 pupils helped pack the Harvest ready for collection and they were exhausted by how much they had to pack!
with kindest regards, Mrs Nouillan
