All the Primary one children enjoyed their farm trip to ‘Kitchen Ewes and Coos’ at High Arrioland, New Luce.

We started our Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last week. Every child in school made a mosaic tile and these tiles will be put together to make the Queen’s head. All the children enjoyed making their tile.  Thank you very much to Diana Hamilton for her organisation, preparation and help on Friday.

After weeks of practising, we have our Scots Poetry Winners per class. Former Sheuchan teacher, Mrs McCaig judged the finalists in each class and had the hard decision of picking this year’s winners. The standard was so high however the winners are as follows:
P1 – Reid McNally (Mince and Tatties by J.K. Annand)
P1/2 – Nancy Sloan (Twa Leggit Mice by J.K. Annand)
P2/3 – Sophie McCreadie (Circus by J.K. Annand)
P3/4 – Emma Lindsay (The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate)
P4/5 – Francis Lawton (The Heron by J.K. Annand)
P5 – Melissa Fraser (The Auld Broon Troot by Sandy Thomas Ross)
P6 – Millie Whorlow (A Dug, A Dug by Bill Keys)
P7 – Katie Monair (Address of the Haggis by Robert Burns)
Missing from the photo is Emma Lindsay.

Today we said goodbye to Miss Barbour who is our P1/2 teacher. She joined Sheuchan Primary in August 2020 when she taught P7. She has recently secured a permanent post as a PE teacher in a school in Glasgow. To send Miss Barbour off in style, we held a mini sports day for her which she and the rest of the school enjoyed. We would like to wish Miss Barbour all the best for her new job and best wishes for the future.

Wow! We had a great response to our annual Scottish Family homework this year. The models and posters never fail to amaze us with how creative our families are.
