Tractor Torch Tour Visit

 

The ‘Tractor Torch Tour’ started on Monday, 23rd April at Drummore Primary School. The tractor and all volunteer drivers will visit every primary school in Dumfries and Galloway this week finishing at Langholm Primary School on Friday, 27th April. 

Yesterday the tractor made it to our school. We received a framed piece of work from Eastriggs Primary and handed over one of our school jumpers and a framed piece of work that Callum H, Cameron and Mark made. 

Our work

The boys were tasked with showing learning which reflected ‘Farming, Food and the Countryside’. Using handwriting techniques they have been practising with Mrs Park and Mrs Holliday they produced a lovely piece of work, above, which has now been handed on to Carrutherstown Primary. 

The tour has been organised by the Royal Highland Education Trust, which works in partnership with our education services to help children and young people learn about farming food and the countryside.

PC Easthill Visit

PC Easthill came to visit Primary 1 – 3 to talk about road safety.  Here is a message from PC Easthill, some photos and reports of the visit:

Recently I have been giving Road Safety Inputs to P1-P4 and it was brought to my attention that in some, not all, cases that our young people are being transported in family cars without proper use of booster seats/seat belts. May I remind you that a failure to use these items correctly is an offence which may cost you dearly, not just financially, but also emotionally should something occur whereby a young person is seriously injured as a result of not using them correctly.

Even if it is just “Doon the road” please ensure we use booster seats and seat belts as the kids are yours and we need to keep them safe in all aspects.
