World Book Day- Thursday 7th March
The Inclusive Friendly Schools Committee would like to invite children (with the help of their parents/carers) to decorate a potato for World Book Day.
I’d love to see your characters! Send a picture or bring your potato to school on Thursday.
Bring your favourite book to school this week to Show and Tell why you like it.
World Book Day provides a fantastic opportunity to focus on reading for pleasure and embed a habit of reading. We will be completing lots of activities that will hopefully encourage a love of reading throughout the whole year. This week we will focus on George’s Marvellous Medicine, and also continue working in our reading groups.

This week is Children’s Mental Health Week so instead of the usual homework PowerPoint, there is a wellbeing grid to pick and choose activities from. Have fun completing as many as you can.
As part of our EA Clean Green Award, Mrs Fisher has signed Mauchline Primary & ECC up for a council initiative whereby we try to encourage families and the community to recycle their food waste.
A homework task has been assigned to each class. P3/4 have to design our own caddy character. Go on, let your imaginations run wild!
Please return all completed designs by Wednesday 14th February.

Just a wee reminder that library books should be brought to school every day. Children can quiz on completed books, at home or in school (if time allows), and change their book as and when required.
