Mrs Clapperton and the NCDT group had the privilege of meeting Molly and Woodrow from Fossilfield Centre today. They are therapy horses used for health and wellbeing purposes. The children groomed the horses and had a go at being a jockey on the race horse simulator.
Mrs Clapperton and Mrs Ramsay took along a group of eight children to the intergenerational tea dance at Dumfries House, organised by East Ayrshire Vibrant Communities. We had a delicious afternoon tea followed by entertainment by Fabulous Fraser! We met Councillor Mr Jim McMahon and Depute Provost Claire Leith. The children and adults had the best time. The boys and girls were up dancing and Presley was even chosen to go up with Fabulous Fraser.

Next week is Dyslexia Awareness Week! The theme for Dyslexia Awareness Week is “Breaking Down Barriers”. The theme this year will allow us to reflect on the barriers that those living with dyslexia often face, while also focusing on how individuals, organisations and the education system have continued to succeed and break through these obstacles.
Children will be engaged a range of activities. They will be reminded that they have a toolbox in their class which has various resources that can be accessed to help them with their learning. Mrs Frew will be identifying a pupil from each class to form part of our new DFS committee.
As well as being signposted to training opportunities, staff will be asked to complete audits to identify any need for training opportunities.
Please check out your child’s Learning Journal and our school blog at the end of the week to see photos from our week of learning!
