Highland Games for P1-4
As part of an enterprise topic, Primary 4 organised the Highland Games for P.1-4. After a parade of the different clans for example ‘The Scottie Dogs’ and ‘The Great Galloway Coos’, children participated in events such as ‘The Farmer’s Dash’, ‘The Wellie Toss’ and ‘Toss the Caber’. There was a great competitive atmosphere during all events. Primary 3 baked lovely shortbread for all the competitors. Great fun was had by all!
P7 – Burns Supper
As part of an enterprise project, Primary 7 organised a Burns Supper for P5-7 by writing speeches, making table decorations and organising the entertainment. They planned and cooked a delicious meal of haggis, neeps and tatties as well as recited ‘Address to the Haggis’ and the Selkirk Grace. Some P7 girls entertained everyone with a Scottish themed cheerleading display. The afternoon was finished off with everyone dancing the Gay Gordons. Well done P7 for a terrific afternoon!

Goodbye to Miss Stewart

Children In Need
What a great day! As a school, we had great fun while raising money for Children in Need. Our P7 class organised many fun activities in the hall for all the classes to take part it – ball throw, pin the patch on Pudsey, match the socks, lucky dip and the children took part in many activities in the classroom. Four teachers were ‘volunteered’ by pupils to have their faces painted and what a great job they did as well. A final total was announced at the assembly – we raised an amazing amount of £551.07. We are overwhelmed with your generosity and would like to thank you all for your contributions. Thank you for your generous donations.
P7 – Watersports Day
On Thursday, 13th October, the P7 class braved the cold water of Lochryan to try kayaking, paddle boarding and some fun land based games. The children had a great fun and enjoyed getting to try such activities for the first time.
