A fantastic day was had by all! We enjoyed learning the 3 R’s: reading, writing and arithmetic, playing Victorian playground games and following Victorian school etiquette. We are delighted that all the children enjoyed their day and we can’t wait to see their smiling faces back tomorrow. Here are some pictures showing snippets of our day.
The children have been using Victorian handwriting to display their beautiful work. This has been preparing them for their upcoming Victorian Day, which they are very excited about!
In November 2019 Dunlop Primary and ECC were inspected by HMIe. We received a fantastic report which highlighted some of the amazing practice within the school. After the initial report was published Mrs Wilson was contacted by our lead inspector, as after some reflection he felt that our Literacy should be highlighted as excellent practice, and to reflect this Education Scotland got in touch to create a Sketchnote and blog. This will be showcased nationally in the Education Scotland newsletter and website.
As a staff team we are immensely proud that our school has received the recognition we feel it deserves. This has been a real team effort and a reflection of strong support that staff, parents and children continue to give each other.
I am immensely proud to have been part of this journey and am looking forward to where we go next.

Dear Parents/Carers, please open the link to see Primary 3a learning targets for this term. As the class are hard working and industrious, our work programme is well underway and the children delight me everyday with their enthusiasm for teaching and learning. Please keep looking at the blog as I will share the lovely learning ongoing. With kindest regards, Miss McClure.
On Friday, the whole school came together outdoors in a Covid safe way to let Mrs Wilson know what she meant to us, how we appreciated her hard work and commitment to Dunlop and to wish her well on her new and exciting chapter.
Mrs Wilson was the kindest, most nurturing, upbeat person you could ever hope to meet and we were so fortunate to have her lead Dunlop Primary School and ECC for seven years.
Mrs Wilson supported many children and staff over the years, and she was a trusted and valued colleague and friend to us all. We will all miss Mrs Wilson, and of course, we will miss her assemblies from her garden shed.
We presented Mrs Wilson with lots of gifts as a token of how much she meant to us and then she took a walk of honour around the park to say goodbye to each child.
Thank you Mrs Wilson for being our Head Teacher and for always working so hard for Dunlop Primary School and ECC.
You are an inspiration!

Take care Mrs Wilson and don’t forget to wave to us when you are walking Tilly and Toby!
With kind regards, Mrs Nouillan and everyone at Dunlop Primary and ECC
This week we have started Zumba for PE. We have had great fun already learning new dances and showing off our super moves!!
We recreated Van Gogh’s Sunflower art and made some of our own beautiful flowers using oil pastels and added a burst of colour. The children loved this and really took their time to make these look wonderful! I am sure you will agree they are amazing and really brighten up your day.
As we have been learning all about the importance of recycling and waste minimisation, this afternoon we went out litter picking in the park and around the daily mile. We found lots of litter lying around our school.
We have been learning all about sustainability and the importance to reduce, reuse and recycle. Last week in class we recycled our own paper by gathering lots of shredded paper, soaking it in water and using a blender to blitz it down to a fine pulp. Our favourite part was when we had to rinse all of the water out by squeezing the mixture with our hands.
