World Book Day 2023

We are once again celebrating World Book Day at Mauchline PS & ECC. This year we are celebrating on Thursday 2nd March.

The children are invited to dress up as a book character, or simply bring a prop from their favourite book e.g. Harry Potter’s wand, a mixing bowl from George’s Marvellous Medicine etc. If not dressing up, the children are welcome to dress down on the day. (No football clothes/colours please).

Please hand in any old costumes that you cannot use any more to the school office. We are happy to add them to our recycling rack in the school.

The teachers will have events planned for the day that promote the enjoyment of reading. The ECC will have their own events planned for the day and will be informing parents/carers of their plans.

World Book Day – Thursday 2nd March 2023

We will once again be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March. More details will follow after the February holiday, however we just wanted to ask if anyone has any costumes that their child/children used in a previous year that they no longer require? If you do, please send them into the school office and we will find a new home for them.

Save the date - World Book Day | World Book Day is a registered charity.  Our mission is to give every child and young person a book of their own.

Beauty & the Beast Pantomime 2022

The parent council have been awarded funding for the children in the ECC and Primary School to enjoy a showing of the M&M production of Beauty & the Beast alongside some of the elderly people within our community in the hope of spreading some Christmas cheer over the festive period.
The children will be decorating invites to hand out to specific groups within Mauchline. If you would like to nominate someone you know please contact mpspcsocial@gmail.com or the school office and we will arrange for an invite to be sent home for you to pass on.
We are aware there has been some confusion with some of the invites been sent home last week and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Many Thanks
