Below is a form for the children at the school to complete. It will let us know what they have learned about Dyslexia over the last few years of undertaking the Dyslexia Friendly Schools Award.
No Pens Wednesday
The staff and pupils are gearing up for another ‘No Pens Wednesday’. The 4th October will mean no pens or pencils being used across the school and pupils engaging in multi-sensory activities all day. Drama, interactive spelling, reading, music lessons, multi-sensory play activities and much more.
This is all part of Dyslexia Awareness and the school’s continuing progress towards our Dyslexia Friendly School’s Gold Award.
Dyslexia Friendly Schools Silver Award
Dyslexia Awareness Week 2016
Mauchline PS & ECC are participating in Dyslexia Awareness Week once again this year. From Monday 14th – Friday 18th November the whole school are talking about Dyslexia, learning about Dyslexia and understanding what it is like to have Dyslexia. We are taking part in ‘No Pens Wednesday’ which means that there are no written activities at all and the children are only completing active lessons.
The homework this week was to choose between four challenges. One of the challenges involved creating the word ‘Dyslexia’ and taking a photograph with the completed result.

Dyslexia Friendly Schools Award
Well done to Miss Kirkcaldy and Team DFS who went along with Mrs Cross and Mrs McLean to collect their Bronze Award. Team DFS has been the driving force behind the school managing to secure their Bronze Award and for highlighting Dyslexia across the school and among the parent forum.
The Award Ceremony took place at Dumfries House and provided a chance for every school to showcase their own personal journey. Lewis and Aidan came along to receive the award on behalf of the school. Well done Team DFS, what a fabulous achievement!
