Red Nose Day 2021

Red Nose Day

The Children’s Leadership Committee (CLC) would like the children and young people of Mauchline Primary and ECC to participate in Red Nose Day 2021, which falls on Friday 19th March.

The theme is ‘Funny is Power’.

Parent Pay will be set up to receive a minimum donation of £1 for those who wish to donate.

The CLC are promoting  the following activities to fundraise for RND:

  • In school sale of red noses at a cost of £1.50. There are limited number. These will be sold at lunchtimes.
  •  Children to share funny  jokes which we will tweet across the day.
  • Children to make a red nose out of red collage materials or items to show that everyone is different, unique and special. Teachers please encourage this on your blog or in class. Entries should be posted onto the school twitter page using the @MauchlineC tag line. The CLC will choose 6 winners from across the school who will receive a certificate.
  • Dress in red or wear a red item on Friday 19th March.

Class teachers will also be using the  the ‘Comic Relief’ resources in school to promote Red Nose Day.

Thank you for your support.

World Book Day Thinglink

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 Day – Decorate a POTATO as a book character

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).

Click the link to a planning page (to use if you would find it helpful):    Potato character sheet

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……
