Good morning Mauchline PS & ECC

I have been out a walk every evening with my two children and we have set ourselves a challenge – to identify some of the bird song we hear.

I have attached a link to the Woodland Trust website to help.

Mrs Kilday will love this challenge as she is a true bird-lover!!

Check out the ECC page for a special message!

Happy Easter to all of the boys and girls of Mauchline PS & ECC. The whole  staff wish parents, carers, extended family members and friends a happy, safe and chocolate-filled Easter Sunday!!

I have created an Easter bunny version of the classic beetle drive game.

There are different versions of this game but I have tried to keep the rules as simple as possible.

I love a Beetle Drive and the children love playing them too – have a go and let me know how it went.

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!!

31 World’s Oldest Man

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

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

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?
