Well done to everyone who got decorating your potato for World Book Day.
I have posted your potato pictures onto the school Twitter page:

You can still email it to the class teacher or me directly:

Please find below a link to some wonderful activities and lots of audiobooks which are perfect for celebrating World Book Day (Thursday 4th March).
A Thinglink is an interactive page with lots of embedded links in it. Some of the teachers at Mauchline have been experimenting with them and the children are benefiting from this new way of sharing learning.
World Book is on Thursday 4th March this year. All classes – in-school and virtual – will be having lessons or arranging activities to celebrate all things ‘book-related’.
We thought for a bit of fun this year – and due to COVID restrictions – that instead of the children dressing up as a book character (due to shops being closed at the moment), they could dress a potato up as a book character (or use any vegetables that you have lying around the house).

I am sure you will be super creative in your design ideas and we MUST see the finished results.
Either add them to our Twitter page, email the results to the class teacher or email them directly to me: susan.cross1@eastayrshire.org.uk
I have added a couple of links to some pages to give you an idea, however I am sure your creations will be even better.
We can’t wait to see the results!!

Article 15 (freedom of association)
Every child has the right to meet with
other children and to join groups and
organisations, as long as this does not stop
other people from enjoying their rights.
Does the building of walls sometimes stop this right from being met?
Have a think about it……
Welcome back to in-school learning for our ECC and Primary1-3 children!
Primary 4-7 children will continue to learn through their digital platforms – school blog and Teams. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we are all back together.
Please check the school APP for all the latest information.
