A few photos from last weeks open hour when the children were researching about what life would be like during Mary queen of Scots reign.
P7 Burns Breakfast
Primary 7 did a fantastic job at their Burns Breakfast. They have worked incredibly hard to learn their poems, speeches and songs and put on a fantastic performance.
I would also like to thank all the parents for their lovely baking donations. This is very much appreciated!

Completed houses ready for the test!
P7 Open Hour STEM Challenge
For open hour, P7 had 60 minutes to use what they had learned about flood resilient homes in Bangladesh to create their own houses. Pupils had time in their groups to work through developing their specifications and design ideas before beginning their models. They all did extremely well with this challenge.
Thank you to all the parents that came along and also helped the children.
Primary 6 Coding
What a busy day! This afternoon Primary 6 were experimenting with BBC Microbits. The children had fun programming their micro bits to count their steps.
During the lesson the children used block code to program. They also managed to adapt their code in order to improve their “Fitbits”.
The children also put their maths skills to the test when they made watch straps in order to support their Microbits.
Primary 6 Photography Competition
Primary 6 have been invited to enter the Kilmaurs Photography Clubs annual photograph competition in March. This year the theme is “Our Town” and as you can imagine the children had lots of ideas about the areas they wanted to capture to show Dunlop off at its best.
We were very fortunate that Mrs Cooley was able to come into school to offer us all some advice on how to capture that perfect picture. I now have the huge task on trying to narrow down the huge selection of pictures down in order for the class to select their 6 favourite images.
P4 Open Hour
Thank you so much to all our visitors for coming along on Monday afternoon to join in our Scotland Fortnight learning experiences.
The children enjoyed working on their PowerPoints and sharing their knowledge with you. The ‘toories’ were tricky but the results are fab and the children are proud of their efforts. You can see some of our finished ‘tartan tammies’ in the picture.
Sorry I couldn’t be there but thank you to Mrs Nouillan for her support.
Well done to Mr & Mrs Milligan and Mrs C. Young for being joint winners of my Scottish Dialect Challenge scoring 9 out of 13. Yay! 🙂
Primary 6 Beat the Flood
Here are the finished creations from P6. As you can see they have all shown real creativity here and completed the challenge well. Some of the houses were more successful than others at “beating the flood”. Well done Primary 6.
Primary 6 Open Hour STEM Challenge
Primary 6 had great fun completing a STEM challenge where they had an hour to build a flood resistant house. Tomorrow each of the houses will be put to the test, which houses will withstand the flood and which will be washed away…. watch this space to find out!
