Competition Winners!
Two groups of P7 pupils have brought back trophies after taking part in two competitions. One group represented Gretna Primary School at a Science Competition in Langholm and won first place. Another group of children took part in a Forestry Commission Countryside Safety Challenge and also won. Well done everybody!
Shoe Box Appeal
During the Christmas period some of the children and their families filled shoe boxes to send to children less fortunate than them as part of the Shoe Box Appeal.Thank you for all of your donations; there will be a lot of children who are very grateful for them. Here are a group of children with all the boxes that were donated.
Christmas Carol Singing
During December, the school choir were out carol singing. They sang at the switch on of the Christmas lights at the Richard Greenhow Centre and also at Gretna Gateway. They were very cold days and nights but the children definitely brought the Christmas Spirit! Thank you to everybody who came to support us.
Gretna Community Sport Win The People’s Millions!
On Tuesday 25th November, it was announced that Gretna Community Sport had won a grant from The People’s Millions. Primary Seven pupils were involved in recording a short new article for the appeal. We like to think it was their cheeky faces that convinced people who were unsure to pick up the phone! Click on the link below to see Fiona Armstrong announce that they had won!

Goodbye P7
We said a fond farewell to our fabulous Primary Seven’s in July. We wish them all the luck in the world as they move on to secondary school. We will miss you!
Queen’s Baton Relay
On Thursday, 19th June, we watched the Queen’s Baton Relay pass through Gretna. The baton took a while to arrive but we managed to make our own entertainment while we waited! Sandra Proudfoot carried the baton past our school, we sang the Commonwealth song and listened to some songs and stories performed by Tam Dean Burn!
Jamie Oliver Record Attempt
On Friday 16th May, P7 took part in Jamie Oliver’s cook-along show and helped him to try and break a Guinness World Record. We had to watch the show and make a rainbow wrap. Some of us loved them; others were not so sure!
Trip to Walby Farm Park
During term 2, P3 travelled to Walby Farm Park to find out about animals and the farm. We took pictures of some of the animals. Look at the piglets!
P7 Outdoor Learning Day
Primary Seven had lots of fun on their outdoor learning day. They learned how to light fires, create shelters and tie different knots. The sun was shining too – that helped a lot!!
