Today we enjoyed our first session with Occupational Therapist Jane Ritchie.
The children discussed their feelings, emotional health and well-being.
They created their own Emotion Rainbows.
We are looking forward to Jane’s next visit.

P5 Eiffel Tower Artwork
How amazing are these pictures. The children created these over two weeks at art time.
They made detailed line drawings of The Eiffel Tower with black pens before splitting the ink with water to give a nice effect.
They created the background using water colour paints and added paper clouds.
I love them. Each one is different and such lovely colours. They will be mounted and displayed in class. Well done P5.
P5 Music Time
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!
Emotional Wellbeing Pilot
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
Miss White

P5 Basketball Skills
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.
P5 We Love Marty!
Today the children were beyond excited to meet Marty the robot!
The children used Scratch Editor to put together blocks of coding which made Marty walk, dance, light up, whistle, kick, wave and even do the splits!
I was so proud of how well the children worked as teams. They supported each other and learned form each other. Amazing to see. Lots of smiles and laughter too.
Throughout the session the children will develop their coding skills and use their knowledge to solve problems with Marty. They will also have lots of fun at the same time.
P5 Tints and Shades
Today we learned about colour mixing. The children should now be able to explain the difference between tints and shades.
They have painted beautiful leaves in tints and shades of their chosen colour.
They will make a fabulous display on the wall.
P5 Rainbow Trees
The children carefully painted their trees before using oil pastels and a bit of blending to create these magical rainbow trees.
They are just lovely. Well done everyone! I can’t wait to display them on the wall.
P5 Term1 Learning Targets
It is lovely to have the children back and we are looking forward to a super year full of new and exciting learning experiences.
