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!

Congratulations to our very own Sophie Hall in P6 who has been asked to join Stranraer Junior Brass Band. Brilliant news!

A Shrek-tastic Day Out!

On Thursday the 14th of May primary 4/5/6 and 6/7 from Glenluce Primary School went to Glasgow for an exciting 12 hour trip (yes we really were away for 12 hours!)

First we went to Scotland Street School Museum. It was a grand building, with fancy windows. It had been designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh. We had a really fun time pretending to be pupils in World War 2 classroom. The poor desk got belted a couple of times – we were glad we didn’t!

Then we ventured along the buzzing city roads to the Kings Theatre to watch Shrek the Musical. Everyone liked Lord Farquad. He was hilarious. To make him look very small the actor had to walk on his knees! At the interval we ate our snack and settled back to enjoy even more!

On the way back we stopped at Burger King for tea.

We had a great trip away and would love to go again!

On Thursday 14th May p4/5/6 and P6/7 from Glenluce Primary School went to Glasgow. We went to the Scotland Street Museum and then the Kings Theatre to see Shrek the Musical.

First when we went into the museum. We saw the massive drill hall. We got a guide and were led around a 1940s and 1960s classroom. Our favourite part was the 1940s classroom because we had to act like we were from that era. The museum was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A relative of Sophie’s used to be head teacher there!

After the museum we went to the Kings Theatre to see Shrek the Musical. It was brilliant!  We enjoyed two hours of comedy antics. Our favourite part was the song ‘I’m a believer’!

We enjoyed the trip, it was very interesting. On the way back most people fell asleep or just played on their gadgets.

Glenluce Shrek report

On Thursday 14th of May p4/5/6/7 enjoyed a lovely day out in Glasgow. There was a lot of excitement as we boarded the bus.

First we went to the Scotland Street School museum and we found out loads of facts: one of them was the school when it first opened the school could hold up to 1250 pupils! The building was designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh.

Next we went to the Kings Theatre to watch Shrek the Musical. We loved the character Donkey and we were amazed by the dragon’s detail. The songs were great!

After the theatre we went to Burger King for tea. Finally we went home on the bus and were talking about the theatre experience. We loved the trip. It was tiring but lots of fun.

This popular event took place today, Wednesday 13th May. Crowds of friends, family and pupils took the opportunity to browse the fantastic selection of plants on offer. Mrs McQuistin and her Gardening Club had been extremely busy! Grand total to follow…

Very few plants are left but what is will be available to buy at our Gala Day this Saturday.

Good luck to Fraser who is off to Edinburgh tomorrow to play for Dumfries and Galloway Primary Football team. What an accolade to be picked!

Brilliant news…….Rebecca Torbet and Janey-Leigh Davis are winners! The girls’ artwork has been selected from hundreds of entries across the region for next year’s Energy Agency 2016 calendar. The task was to design a poster to encourage people to think carefully about their energy use and their treatment of the world around us. We have had winners in the past, but two in one year?! What a result!

Rebecca and Janey-Leigh have been invited to an awards ceremony which will take place in Dumfries on the 22nd June.

Well done to Niall, Mark and Drew who participated in this football festival in Newton Stewart on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May. The boys each received a trophy as a memento and all had a great time!

Come along this Saturday for a fun family day out!
