We had a brilliant visit from @AyrUnitedFC players, Dom and Lucas, on Monday. They fielded all our pupils’ tough questions and even read the first edition of Marr’s football fanzine. Pupils absolutely loved it.Huge thanks to the guys for coming along. @SAC_Reads

📚☀️ 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… 📚 🍦
Absolutely thrilled to top off an excellently bookish year at Marr by securing @scottishbktrust Gold Accreditation. Fantastic team effort from all our readers, leaders, ambassadors, partners and the wider Marr community. Hope Santa has some more books for us… 📚 @SAC_Reads

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
Brilliant final #StreetBelonging

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. 🎥 🎞
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
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 📚
Mr CK Marr himself is ready for it. And he‘s brought his book bag. @MarrColOfficial

This S2 learner has absolutely blown us away with his “Black Out” poetry using Anne Donovan’s ‘Away in a Manger’.
We want this made into Christmas postcards! @MarrColOfficial
Our little elfish Reading Ambassadors have given our @MarrColOfficial staff some Home Learning over Christmas! They’ve selected different books for each of us (based on our interests), wrapped + delivered them. The task: read and then review the book!@SAC_Reads @scottishbktrust
