How lucky are we? Kaiden and Aria-Rose brought in cupcakes for everyone to have at playtime as an end of term treat. Huge thanks to their family for being so thoughtful – as pupils have enjoyed a number of treats from them over the course of this year and previous ones too. Such generosity is much appreciated! Thank you Kaiden, Aria-Rose and family ❤️
At our most recent Pupil Council meeting, it was highlighted that we don’t have many non-fiction books in the school library. So our responsible pupils wrote to the Community Reuse Shop to enquire about donations of books. They very kindly invited us to pop into the shop to look through the books and pick a selection for our school. Olivia from Kirkcolm, Alexander from Leswalt and Jack from Portpatrick
This afternoon, the ever popular Rev. Clare joined us for a chat about life as a minister. This was the final event in our Careers in the Community focus. It was SO good to see her and talk about different aspects of her work (listening, praise, leading, prayer and most importantly…love). She was able to give an insight into the many roles of a minister – the job isn’t just

Today was possibly the most perfect Friday EVER! Why? Because we all went to the beach! When teachers were thinking about where to go for our summer school trip, they came up with the idea of all heading the short bus ride to Sandhead beach. That sounded pretty amazing in itself but there was even more fun to be had as we met and fed farm animals and alpacas at
How lovely it was to welcome Jorgie, James, Cameron and Beathan into P1 this morning – and to say a cheery hello to our brand new P1-4 and P5-7 classes!

We can’t wait to have you all back again
Aren’t we the lucky ones? Renita Boyle – resident story-teller with Wigtown Book Festival offered to come along and share one of her wonderfully interactive story-telling sessions with us at lunchtime today! After we’d eaten lunch, we excitedly found a spot on one of the picnic rugs and listened avidly as Renita shared her enthusiasm with a fun warm-up song of Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (with a bit of
