At Dunclug Primary School we believe it is so important to listen to our pupils and take their opinions on board. This year our whole school Literacy focus is aimed at developing pupils' reading comprehension skills. As part of our development we wanted to get the pupils' thoughts on reading. Our school council took part in a pupil voice questionnaire to help us find out how our children feel about reading and how we could help to improve their reading. Through a discussion and questionnaire the school council came up with really interesting and insightful comments which will be really useful for teachers when planning and teaching reading.
The school council have been busy organising a non uniform day to raise money and awareness for 'Children in Need'. They created brilliant posters to put around the school to advertise the event. We hope we raise lots of money for an amazing cause!

The class with the most healthy breaks each month will win the extra playtime.

Pupils from P1-P7 made donations to attain poppies and had the opportunity to wear them to our Remembrance assembly which took place on Friday 10th November.
On Thursday 19th October, the School Council held a very successful £1 sale. It was so popular that all pupils were given another opportunity to buy items on Friday 20th too!

The School Council members did a fantastic job with creating posters to advertise the sale, organising resources and assisting pupils with their purchases.
Miss Cameron and the School Council would like to thank everyone for all donations and support for the sale - a really great start to the school year with the success of this first event!
At these meetings, we discuss a range of school issues and suggest our ideas for changes/developments within school and events throughout the year such as school fundraising initiatives, themes for non-uniform days, ideas for whole school fun days/treats.
