I cannot tell you how lovely it is to, at last, be able to hear children singing together whilst still adhering to current guidelines.
The children have been learning how to play accompaniments to their songs using glockenspiels. They are doing so well and I thought you would like to see this weeks achievement.
(Their idea to have girls and then boys) How funny!
We have been practicing the phoneme oa in Primary 2 this week.
Here are some of the words we have made using our Active Literacy resources.
Some of the children have been using pasta, pebbles and waxy doodles to practice out words.
Primary 2’s phoneme this week is oa.
The words we have been practicing are:
boat
foal
coat
road
float
loan
I have included some activities you could practice at home if you wish.
Activities
Rainbow writing- The children use different colours to write their words down.
Pasta writing- Use penne pasta to make the words.
Sand or Rice writing- Use a tray of sand or rice and ask children to draw out their words in the tray.
We are delighted to let you know that the Primary 4 and 5 classes at Dunlop Primary School have been chosen to take part in Emotional and Mental health pilot with Jane Ritchie, who is an OT with many years experience.
This pilot is designed to teach the children about mental health and to provide them with strategies to help them in the future.Jane will work with the children over a period of 4 weeks, using stories and games to help the children discuss emotions and wellbeing.
I have attached a flyer to this message, however I am aware that some documents are not opening, therefore I will also add this to the school app.
If you have any questions please email me at emma.white@eastayrshire.org.uk
Kind regards

Take a look at what P4 have been learning in numeracy this week. We have been using concrete, pictorial and written methods to deepen our understanding of place value. We have also been finding different ways to complete number sentences. As the week progressed and children were more confident doing this, they were coming up with lots of different ways to complete these sentences as well as represent numbers in lots of different ways.
Primary 4 worked in pairs to create a PowerPoint presentation to display their knowledge of Australian States and Territories. This included learning how to access PowerPoint on the GLOW platform as well as learning how to edit the font/colour/background and locate then insert images from the internet. P4 worked very hard and managed to come up with some very creative designs.
Primary 1 have been loving their Fairyland topic, here is a couple of the super activities they have taken part in from the stories Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel.
We have planted our own pumpkins which seem to be doing really well and made our own gingerbread houses.
We thought you’d like to see how we are getting on with our block of basketball skills in P.E. this term.
We worked on defending, dribbling and footwork skills today before trying some mini games.
The children are showing lots of improvement. You can hear them calling out in the video clip to let a player know they have put themselves in a good space to receive a pass.
Lots of happy faces and rosy cheeks afterwards.
P6 used their creative thinking and problem solving skills during their start of day activity today. Pupils combined the attributes of two different products to create and design a new concept.
We shared our ideas with one another and Mrs Kelly was very impressed with the different ideas the pupils had created including:
