Good morning! I hope you are all well and are managing to access your tasks. It was lovely to hear from you yesterday and to receive your work. Some of you even sent some photographs of what you were getting up to and this put a huge smile on my face. It definitely wasn’t the same without all of your lovely faces.
Here is today’s home learning. Hope you all have a lovely day and I look forward to hearing from you!
Dear class, I hope you are all well and have enjoyed a safe and happy weekend. It is going to be very strange today for me to be in class without seeing and working with all of you. I have prepared a lovely surprise in the classroom and this will be here for you when you return, this won’t be long. We also have a naughty little visitor who’s come to stay and already he has been up to mischief. I will take photographs of his mischief making and share this with you on the blog every day.
In the meantime, I want you to keep learning and you can show your parents how clever you are by completing the work you would usually do in class but at home. Your completed work should be sent to me via email and Mrs Wilson will share my email with your parents, where I will mark your work and give you feedback as usual. I am so looking forward to receiving your work and hearing how you are getting on. If you need me for anything you are welcome to send me an email and I will also be in school all week so I am available for contact via the school office.
Right P3, we can do this! With warmest regards, have a happy day! Miss McClure
Ps, our class advent calendar is ready and waiting and we will catch up on the days when you come back.

P3 have been busy learning about time over the last few weeks. They’ve made their own clocks and have been using them to help learn to tell the time. Super work P3!
P3 had fun last week designing and making their own magnetic games. They made maths or literacy games using magnets to catch their animals or questions. Here are some of the games they’ve created. Great work P3A!
We had lots of fun tinting our paint to create beautiful plaice fish.
When new pupils arrive at Dunlop Primary, their transition is supported by entry into a caring and supportive environment.
Each new pupil becomes a valued member of a small ‘family unit’ within Dunlop and are allocated a House. Pupils stay within their house until they leave in P7, additionally we place siblings together within a house.
At Dunlop Primary, we have three house: Clerkland, Glazert and Lugton. These are named after local areas. Each house is represented by a different colour and we encourage pupils to wear their house colours on days throughout the year.
Clerkalnd = Blue
Glazert = Yellow
Lugton = Red
House Captains
At the beginning of the school year, a P7 is elected House Captain and takes on the responsibility for the leadership and organisation of their house for the forthcoming year and they are supported by a P6 Vice Captain. The House Captains and Vice Captains work tirelessly to ensure their house members are working together to earn House Points through living and demonstrating our School Values of being happy, kind, honest and respectful.
House points are also awarded at House Events, although this year we will need to be creative with how we organise these to ensure we don’t mix bubbles!. At the end of the year, house points are added together and the house with the most points wins the overall house competition and they life the much coveted House Cup.
Recently, the P7 and P6 pupils prepared and presented an election speech to their peers and each house then chose their captains and vice captains. A huge congratulations to our House Captains and Vice Captains and also a huge thank you to all the children who worked hard to prepare and deliver their election speeches. We were delighted to see so many children keen to take on leadership roles with in our school.
House Captains and Vice Captains for 2020/2021 are (and for the very first time, we have a joint captaincy)
with warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan
Today we created our own lion face and curled strips of paper to create a wild mane!
We have been reading all about African animals and have been highlighting relevant information that tell us about their appearance, diet and habitat.
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
