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.

Here is the link to the family section of the World Book Day website:

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.

Massage in Schools Programme

As part of our commitment to raising attainment through health and wellbeing, we have been looking at ways to promote safe, nurturing touch by introducing the Massage in Schools Programme (MISP) at Mauchline Primary School.
