We were all delighted that one of our pupils was given good news yesterday and told us she was cancer free. She celebrated with her class by ringing the school bell in her own way! She has been an inspiration to us all.

P5 have been learning Scots vocabulary and had fun creating their own AYEphone apps using Scots words. They also created some vibrant Scots artwork inspired by Scottish thistles and the Saltire.

Many thanks to all colleagues across NAC for all their kind wishes for my early retirement.
I would especially like to thank the staff, parents and children at Dykesmains Primary for making my last week so special and memorable.

Mrs W and Mrs P spent this after showcasing our play journey this year with lots of other schools across North Ayrshire at Saltcoats Town Hall. It was great to discuss play with so many people.

An afternoon learning about the coast, the no-take zone, the wildlife and the geology of Arran, with a bit of beach art thrown in for good measure.

Thank you to
@ArdrossanCRT
for coming into school on Friday to teach children about their role in the community and to discuss water safety. Children and staff learned so much and really enjoyed the demonstrations.
Another fun evening exploring the rock pools to find as many different creatures as we could. The ‘star’ of the show was definitely the huge starfish!
