Here are some activities to keep the children busy over the holidays – just for fun!!
ECC – P3
P4 – P7
What’s in the news this week?
I’m aiming to post something ‘topical’ every week to keep the family discussions going over the period of school closures.
Here is this week’s. Get chatting!!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
To link with this morning’s Tweet here is a link to an animated version of the story. The children have seen this before at assembly and it’s one of my personal favourites!!

Download this colourful set of small images for the younger children to cut out and use as stick puppets based on The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
You can print the images out, let the children cut them out then stick them onto lollipop sticks or pieces of card.
Now let your child retell the story in their own words – even let them add their own favourite food/snacks. Enjoy
Have a safe Easter break
To the pupils, parents and all staff members of Mauchline PS & ECC
Please have a restful and safe Easter break.
Try to have some fun and some long lies!
We will see you all again in two weeks, ready to begin our online learning once again.
Take care
Mouse Trap
Just had to add this to the main page. How clever are Callan and his dad? They found a mouse and wanted to catch it, but not hurt it, and move it to a safer place. They built a humane trap to catch and release it. Isn’t it so sweet?
Easter Quiz
Good morning Mauchline PS & ECC.

The Cool to Be Kind Project
Leah Norman and Leanne McPherson, nurses at Cumnock Hospital, have sent out a plea for children to donate artwork to cheer up both patients and staff.
Please read the message below and send your masterpieces to our local hospital by email to:

Let’s work together to raise the spirits of everyone, including our marvellous NHS!
Easter Activities
It’s almost time for the Easter holidays and I am sure everyone is busy trying out Ms Dougan’s daily challenges – this week all Easter-themed. Remember to send us your photographs – you can add them to Twitter, email your teacher or email me (Mrs Cross).
My Glow email is: easusan.cross1@glow.sch.uk
Since we are missing our Easter Service I have included a Powerpoint all about the Easter Story.

There is also a link to a really easy Easter craft to brighten up the house over the next few weeks.
Update for Accelerated Reader site
I have added a little more information to yesterday’s ‘Let’s Get Reading’ post.
The website has a ‘read to me’ function to allow all of the books to be read to the children rather than them having to read them on their own.
This opens up a whole world of books for everyone to read. It’s a fabulous site and well worth a look!!
Let’s get reading
Children from P3-7 are used to using Accelerated Reader to record the books they read and complete quizzes.
However Accelerated Reader has given free access to some of their books online during school closures. ALL children can access the free links to some of their ebooks.
Please follow the link to access.
The site has a function to allow the books to be read to the children – this allows children to ‘hear’ the stories even they are too difficult for them to read. A fabulous function during this time of school closure.
