Monday 11th May

Good morning to all of the children, parents and carers of Mauchline PS & ECC. We hope you are all staying safe and managing to have some time to relax as well as continuing to learn wherever and however you can.

Here is a poster to remind you of the best way to keep your hands germ-free.

Remember to check the blog page for your child’s class – they contain fabulous ideas and activities to keep the children learning at home.

All classes now have a ‘Teams’ page that allow the children to post comments and completed work within a safe and secure environment. See the previous blog posts about Glow and Teams to get you logged in.

I have provided a link to a good website below for children who struggle with reading or just need a little boost with their reading.

I have copied the blurb from the website below. Please note that the links are to YouTube for the book readings.

“KidsRead2Kids helps kids build self-esteem and reading confidence with every chapter. We hope to inspire and empower young readers.

KidsRead2Kids was founded by Dyslexic and ADHD siblings to bring the joy and confidence back to the struggling reader.

We provide free video-audio books read by kids for kids – filmed chapter by chapter for easy listening. A great resource for both homeschooling parents and primary teachers.”

This week’s topic for discussion is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Enjoy!

Our school have been learning about Rights for some time so I thought we could keep our wonderful learning in this area going. So every Tuesday I will be posting a ‘Right of the Week’ with a link to some resources should you want to take this learning further.  

This week we are starting with a very important right: article 24. This right relates a lot to what is going on in the world just now. Article 24 states that you have the right to the best health care and you have the right to all of the things you need to stay healthy. Please see the link below for more information & activities related to this & feel free to send me any activities you complete.

Article of the Week

Stay Safe!
