A grand day on Friday at Castle Kennedy and a solid day for the runners. On Friday  22nd of April we had some amazing runners at the cross country 2016 held at Castle Kennedy gardens. Well done to all the runners especially Kane Wilkinson, Ben Newton, Abi Mckinstry, Jenni Brooke and Krissie Ramsay. Congratulations to all the runners.

Carlingwark Adventures

On the 24^th and the 25^th of September 2015, Primary 6 and 7 headed to Carlingwark for 1 night and two days to do water sports at Carlingwark’s very own loch at Castle Douglas.  The highlight of Jenni Brooke’s stay was definitely the fun boats.

Jenni was in a boat with Abi Mckinstry and Niamh Bodle. Niamh was controlling the boat, while Abi was at the back steering and Jenni was in the middle giving out directions.  The group were giving instructions to sail in the middle of two islands of weeds.  They had turned the corner and Jenni was saying hello to the canoers.  Niamh was too busy talking she hadn’t realised that the sail rope was meant to be tight so it wouldn’t shoot to the other side.

So before you know it the sail had shot to the other side and because Jenni was too busy waving at other people her head was in the water and her legs still on the boat. After about 3 seconds Jenni’s legs fell in with her.  While Jenni was being saved by Laura,   Abi and Niamh were so busy laughing that Abi forgot to steer and crashed into the reeds.

Jenni asked Niamh, “what was your first thought when Jenni fell in?” Niamh replied, “where is Jenni?”

Jenni asked Abi the same question and Abi’s answer was “JENNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Then she started laughing!

Over all it was a brilliant experience and enjoyed by all!

Well done Rebecca and Janey Leigh! We are proud of you!

Primaries 1-7 had a great time on Monday 22nd June when parents came along to enjoy their Sports Day. The sun shone and the pupils had a great time.

After a hard fought competition involving a week of sports with netball, rugby, football, scatterball, rounders and high jump, long jump and chest throw; Stair were the eventual winners! Their house captains Erin Rankin and Scott Thomson were delighted to lift the trophy for them!

Well done to sports champions too……… Rebecca Torbet and joint winners Wilson Sloan and Fraser Sullivan.

It was a wet, drizzly day when P6 headed off to Operation Safety at Stair Park on Friday 5th June. Luckily there were lots of activities to do and they soon got everyone smiling!

Lots of organisations and services were on hand to help us learn about a whole range of topics. We had a great day!

Glenluce Youth Club is on every Monday from 6-8pm in term-time for P7- secondary aged pupils. A juice and snack are on offer too – it’s the best £1 you could spend!

P6/7 went down on Tuesday afternoon and had a great time. Volunteers Caroline Heron and Sharon McKinstry were there to help out and chat to the pupils. They are really keen to see them come along on Monday evenings – and judging by the amount of fun had by the pupils, I think they’d love to go more often!

Check out our photos to see just some of the activities on offer…..

The sun was shining for Castle Kennedy’s Fun Day on Saturday 23rd May. Our very own Glenluce Primary Football team were in action and did very well to get to the semi-finals! The eventual winners of the competition were Sandhead.

Many thanks to all those who took part and gave up their Saturday morning. Nice to see the school being represented.

On Thursday the 28th of May P4/5/6 and P6/7, put on a production called The Fancy Dress Party! Both the audience and all pupils enjoyed the performance. It was very memorable for P7 in particular as it was their last production for Glenluce Primary School.

The performance was based on Mr Sticker, his assistant Delilah and a sad dragon that went to a Fancy Dress Party. But they also met new people going to the Fancy Dress Party on the way and the show tells the stories of these characters. So as you can tell they had a very good time! There was lots of singing, dancing and laughing!

Fun At Glenluce Primary Gala Day

The sun shone and the crowds gathered. Great fun was had by all at Glenluce Primary’s Gala Day. Plant sales, face painting, bottle stall, Lucky Dip, Hook a Duck, the Lolly stick game to name but a few attractions.

The ‘paint your own canvas’ stall and Sand Art also proved to be very popular. The event was ably compered by parent Kenny Campbell and the teas, coffees and BBQ a big hit with everyone there!

It was lovely to see the vintage tractors and cars make an appearance and thanks also to the RNLI and Community Police for coming along too.

The inter-schools relay competition crowned Sheuchan Primary champions for the lower and upper primary races – well done to them. Thanks to pupils from Rephad, Castle Kennedy, Glenluce too for participating in this.

This event would not have been the tremendous success it was without the efforts of the P.T.A. and namely Linda Goad who put a great deal of time into the organisation. Thank you to everyone involved!
