Harvest Thanksgiving Assembly

Our Harvest Assembly was held on Monday 5th October in the school hall. The pupils brought in lots of food for our Harvest Table as you can see from the photographs below. Our School Chaplain, Dr Bartholomew,  told the pupils a story,  P1-5 sang ‘Teddy Bear Rock’, P5-7 performed ‘Vegetable Rap’ and the whole school sang ‘Autumn Days’ and ‘The Sun Came Shining Down.’ The following day pupils from P5-7 delivered 31 harvest parcels to the elderly in New Galloway.

Glenkens Carlingwark Residential

Pupils from the P5 classes of Dalry and Kells visited Carlingwark Outdoor Centre in Castle Douglas for an overnight residential on 14th and 15th of September.

On the first day the pupils walked up Screel Hill, near Palnackie. The pupils found the walk challenging in sections, but rewarding with a great view of Auchencairn Bay before the mist descended.

On the second day the pupils were split into two groups for canoeing and sailing on Carlingwark Loch.

The trip was a great opportunity for the pupils from the Glenkens cluster to be involved in new experiences, work together on challenging tasks and make new friends.

Here are some photographs of the residential.

Primary 6 pupils from the Glenkens Cluster attended Operation Safety at Stair Park in Stranraer on the 2nd June. Workshops were delivered to the pupils by the Police, Ambulance Service, NHS, Fire Service, Coastguard and also different departments within the council who tackle anti-social behaviour. The pupils really enjoyed the experience plus learned a lot of important life skills. Here are some photographs of some of the workshops they attended.
