Mauchline Parkour
This is a post from the Chief Executive’s blog:
Earlier this year our Mauchline CARS team appointed our Creative Minds team to deliver a Parkour summer school for pupils from Mauchline Primary School. Working with professional dance artists, Louise Chudleigh and Carrie Craggs and expert Parkour tutor, Scott Houston, they created repertoire which was carried out at iconic locations across Mauchline.
Young people worked with digital specialists Prancing Jack Productions to capture footage on a journey around the village showcasing the wonderful heritage we have in our own town.
I wanted to share this short – energetic – video with you. It shows the village in a completely different light!

Dyslexia Awareness Week
Monday 2nd – Friday 6th is Dyslexia Awareness Week. We all learned more about Dyslexia, and how to help others, at the assembly on Monday.
Wednesday 4th is NO PENS WEDNESDAY which means we try to do most of our work orally instead of writing.
Mrs Cross met with the Inclusive Schools Committee on Tuesday and spoke about how the children make the biggest difference to ensuring the school is inclusive of everyone. We checked our SWAY from last session and made a few changes. Please have a look.
