Our Mosaic!

The school is delighted to have taken delivery of our mosaic mural to display on the school building. The art work is the result of a competition held on Green Britain Day held back in June 2011 as part of an eco school project to improve the school grounds, when the children were asked to design a picture suitable for being made into a mosaic. When Mrs Jamieson looked at some of the entries there were five which were considered excellent. The decision was made therefore, to use aspects of all five in the final design. The result is super!!! The children’s designs were from Jamie Smith, Abigail Simpson, Struan Carson, Lachlan Mc Killop and Ruaridh McCormack. Well done you five!! The mosaic looks amazing on the wall!

Thank you to Mrs Howie for all her hard work!

Wow!

Rotary Quiz- We are winners!

The annual Rotary Club quiz for Cluster schools took place on 23rd February and our team took the honours!

It was a close run match but in the end Dalbeattie won through. This means our team of Sarah Greenway, Cerys Tandy, Keeley Maxwell and Finlay Smith will go through to the next round in Dumfries.

The Winning Team!

23 girls from P.3-7 took part in the Scottish Country Dancing section
of the Dumfries and District Festival. They won the cup in the First
Time Entry class, dancing Galloway House, and also received a commended
certificate in the P.1-4 larger schools class, dancing Rabbie’s Reel.
They had an enjoyable day and Mrs. Fortnum and Mrs. McFarlane were very
proud of their hard work and achievements. They were a credit to the
school.

Well done girls! Well done Mrs Fortnum and Mrs Mc Farlane!
