We are very lucky to have two S6 boys from St Joseph’s College running an after school basketball club for us. Mr Millar and Mr Kirk are giving up their free time to do this. The Primary 5 and 6 boys and girls who attended this week had great fun.
Day: September 26, 2017
Topical Talk
Primary 6 welcomed Mrs Flora Burns, a trustee from Moat Brae Trust, to talk about J.M. Barrie. The class learned about his early life, why he came to live in Dumfries and how his time in Dumfries influenced his writing of Peter Pan. We all learned something new about J.M. Barrie and heard about how the people of Dumfries made his time here enjoyable and informative. The class were also keen to hear about the plans for Moat Brae house when it opens in 2018. The children asked lots of interesting questions and took the opportunity to take notes to use in their Big Writing later in the week.
Primary 6 Curling’s Cool
On Monday 25th September, Primary 6 took part in Curling’s Cool at Dumfries Ice Bowl where they were coached by students from Dumfries College. They learned about safety on the ice, had a go at some techniques and took part in activities to show off their newly learned skills. A great, fun day was had by all. Thanks go to Mr Kirk and Mr Miller from St. Joseph’s College who accompanied us.
