P4 – Spreading Kindness
For anti-bullying week, Primary 4 have spreading joy and kindness by writing some positive quotes in the playground for everyone to read. We have also been reading The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse in class and discussing some of our our favourite quotes.
P4 – Onomatopoeia Fireworks
P4 were learning all about onomatopoeia today and then applied this knowledge to create descriptive writing all about Fireworks. They should be really proud of their hard work and wonderful descriptive writing.
Harvest Collection 2021
Our newly elected Captains and Vice Captains met to plan and organise this year’s Harvest collection, and this year they chose the AYRSHIRE (EAST) FOODBANK (seeded by The Trussell Trust)to be the receiving charity.
AYRSHIRE (EAST) FOODBANK
‘We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.’
Today our Harvest collection was expertly led by the Vic Captains and after collecting the food items they then had the hard job of packing this ready for the foodbank to collect.
The Captains and Vice Captains, extend a huge thank you to our school community for their generosity and kindness.
I would like to extend a huge thank you to the Captains and Vice Captains for their citizenship and raising awareness for food poverty.
Kind regards, Mrs Nouillan
Dunlop House System and Captains and Vice Captains
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.
Our house are named after local places and each house is represented by a different colour, we encourage pupils to wear their house colours on days throughout the year.
Clerkalnd = Blue
Glazert = Yellow
Lugton = Red
P7 House Captains and P6 Vice 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, this will be when we are allowed to 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 lift the much coveted House Cup. This is a prestigious moment for the Captain and Vice Captain and they are cheered along by a delighted house!
Over the last two weeks, House Captain and Vice Captain election fever hit Dunlop Primary and I want to thank again all our prospective P7 and P6 candidates for showing commitment to their house and delivering wonderful election speeches! Both Mrs Kelly and myself were delighted to see so many children keen to take on leadership roles with in our school.
After voting, I am pleased to announce the following candidates were elected by their peers:
As always, I am looking forward to working alongside the Captains and Vice Captains.
With warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan

Sponsored Walk 2021
On Friday afternoon the whole school braved the weather and set off up Trindle Green as part of our sponsored walk. We are very lucky to have such a beautiful walk on our doorstep and as you can see from the smiling faces everyone had great fun!
So far our Sponsored Event has raised over £1300! Thank you to all families who have supported this event and helped us to raise such an incredible amount of money. It is not too late to hand sponsor money into the school, if you still have some at home.
P4 – Number Talks
In Number Talks this week, p4 have been applying their knowledge of ‘adding up in chunks’ and ‘friendly numbers’ to help them add 3 digit numbers together.
