Burns by Bonnie Doon

The ‘Burns by Bonnie Doon’/P7 Literacy and Numeracy Day was held on Thursday 27th May and was a tremendous success. P7 pupils from our Learning Partnership primary schools: Bellsbank, Dalmellington, Dalrymple, Patna and Littlemill took part in a round robin of 6 workshops. At the Doon Valley Museum the P7s had a workshop on the life and works of Robert Burns with Mr. Wilson and made willow trees with local artist Geoff Forrest assisted by Ms. Fuller, student teacher Ms. Forrest and S1 pupils. Back at Doon Academy the P7s had workshops in ICT with Mr. Power, French with Mrs. McKenzie, Maths with Ms. McClue and Ms. Laughan and Literacy in the Library with Mrs Bax. Everyone really enjoyed their day. Thank you to Mrs. Lohel and Mrs. Dorans for organising the event and to all the staff and pupils who took part.
