Please find a link below to a video made by the EA Speech and Language team.

It contains all of the early sounds with a demonstration of how to say them. It is extremely helpful if you are looking for ways to support your little one with their phonemes.

Hello, my name is Alice and I am the new PATHS coach for Mauchline Primary School & ECC.

It is my job to support the whole school community in the third year of your PATHS journey. As a reminder, PATHS is a social and emotional learning programme designed to support schools as they facilitate the development of children’s emotional awareness, friendships, and problem-solving skills. In my role as PATHS Coach I will be supporting staff, children and parents/carers to get the most out of our exciting PATHS programme. I look forward to getting to know your whole school community this year!

Mrs Murray (Miss Millar) is the lead for PATHS in Mauchline Primary. If you have any questions about PATHS, please email her on lyndsey.murray@eastayrshire.org.uk

The EAC Speech and Language therapists have made another great Powerpoint about helping children to listen.

The Powerpoint contains voice overs to help explain how parents and teachers can help children to listen.

If your child is absent from school for any reason and you wish them to continue their learning at home, please click on the page ‘Home Learning’. 

This page contains lots of useful links to keep your child busy throughout any period of absence and now contains some updated mini topics for every stage in the school.

We are once again able to offer all P3-P7 children a login to the fabulous reading and spelling programme called NESSY.

A full letter is attached with the details.

We have been using this resource for two years now and the children continue to be motivated to complete the ‘islands’ within the programme which help to develop both reading and spelling skills.

All children can login to NESSY in school and at home. We use the children’s names and dates of birth to register for the programme and to track their progress.

Please email Mrs Cross if you DO NOT wish your child to take part in the programme.

All Primary 2 children will be added to the programme later in the session.

Nessy Parent letter August 2021

Hello boys and girls,

I have arranged to meet her today and I will bring her along to meet you too!

Miss McColl has made a video for you to watch so that you can find out some more about her and… she’s really looking forward to reading all about you in your PLP mind map activity you completed on Move Up day.

Hope you have a…
