📚☀️ Sunny vibes and story magic @MarrColOfficial Book Fest 2025 today!

Loved supporting pupils with @ClassVR , diving into beach scenes, swimming with sharks 🦈, & watching sea turtles 🐢… all while sparking imagination and reading joy.

Our new S2 pupils threw a brilliant bash for our Cluster P6 @MarrColOfficial Book Festival. Huge thanks to Maisie Chan and Thomas Clarke for their lively sessions and book signing. Shout out to Waterstones Ayr for the book haul too! Time for a sit down now… 📚 🍦

This gentleman has put in a total shift in 2K24 for our most vulnerable learners. He thoroughly deserves a very quiet December. Our learners and staff were utterly enthralled by @G_Armstrong21 ‘s story from 🔪 to 📖. An icon. ❤️ @MarrColOfficial

Our very own Mr Jackson has been attending Summer School! We are all looking forward to working on Film and Screen curriculum in the new term. 🎥 🎞

[Screen Scotland @screenscots]

This summer, 40 primary and secondary school teachers are taking part in a unique summer school to introduce filmmaking as a newly available subject in Scottish schools.

The two-week course represents a further step towards establishing Scotland’s first Film & Screen Curriculum.

It’s been a real joy to read through excellent book festival-related work from our cluster primaries this year. Here‘s a snippet of excellent work from @PrimaryTroon

[Marr English @MarrEnglish]

@Barassie_PS designed some amazing Dream Festival posters and tickets, which we used to decorate the Book Festival. Would love to see them all come to life - particularly the Really Slay Fest and Fantasyland! Great bunch of creatives!

[Barassie PS @Barassie_PS]

Thanks to @MarrColOfficial for hosting the first Marr Cluster Book Festival! Our P6s had an inspiring time with keynotes from @ljlittleson and Martin Stewart and exploring each other’s writing! #MarrClusterBookFest #Readingschools

Thank you, @MarrEnglish, for hosting the first Marr Book Festival today. Our P6 pupils were inspired by the authors and their novels. They enjoyed working alongside @dundonaldps pupils in the workshops. Great to see their work being displayed on the walls of @MarrColOfficial 📚
