Here are some photographs of Sports Day. Unfortunately it was quite a cold day, but we had lots of fun. Congratulations to Clatteringshaws who were the winners on the day. Well done to all the pupils for their effort and the sporting attitude shown throughout the day.
Recently the P5 pupils from Dalry and Kells went to Carlingwark on a two day residential. The pupils went hillwalking up Bengairn on day one. The second day was spent orienteering and mountain biking. We were very lucky with the weather and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
A group of P6 Pupils from Kells and Dalry participated in the Active Games which was held at Dumfries High School on Friday 12th September. They joined up to play in the football festival that was run by the SFA Development Officer plus Active Schools. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were a credit to both schools.

At last week’s assembly, girls from P3-P5 demonstrated ‘Zumba Kids’ to the rest of the pupils in the school. The class takes place at the Catstrand on a Saturday.
Our P6 & 7 pupils recently had the opportunity to participate in the Curling’s Cool project along with their cluster peers. The pupils enjoyed two hours of coaching at the Ice Bowl in Dumfries. Here are some photographs of the P6 pupils in action.
D & G Fire Service visited Kells this week to discuss fire safety with the primary 6 pupils. The pupils especially enjoyed putting on the firefighter’s jacket and helmet.
Kells entered a Rounders and a Netball team in this year’s Dalry Sports which were held on the morning of Tuesday 5th November. All Kells pupils participated well and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The netball team were successful in retaining the shield for another year. Unfortunately the rounders team could not repeat the win they achieved in the Crossmichael Sports in June of this year. Well done to all pupils involved!
P5-7 wrote anti-bullying poems and entered them in a national competition organised by the charity ‘ Respect Me.’
Here are some of the poems submitted –
‘I Wanted to Tell…’ by Florrie
I am bullied.
Every single day.
They pinch and pull me,
In every single way.
One made my leg bleed.
Another broke my heart.
They stole my diary,
And ripped it into tiny parts.
I went to bed,
And cried all night.
I felt like I,
Couldn’t take a fight.
I wanted to tell.
But I was just too sad.
I couldn’t even tell,
Mum or Dad.
I felt, if I told,
I would get into trouble.
It was as if I floated in a lonely bubble.
‘Bullies are Nasty!’ by Stewart
Bullies are the worst people who ever lived!
Bullies can crush your heart, make you sad,
or they can make you bleed right down your leg.
They can make pain in your body and you can’t get any sleep at all.
Be brave and stand up for yourself.
Her’s some advice in case you get bullied again.
Tell an adult!
Also you can tell mum and dad, so you can be safe.
So I just told you what to do, but you could say you could be bullied again.
And I would say again
Tell an adult!
So be safe and keep calm
And,
Tell an adult!
‘Go Tell An Adult’ by AJ
Bulling is nasty
Ugly gestures
Low life
Lasting bad memories
Yobs are bad
Ignorant and rude
Nervous, distressing, harrowing
Go tell an adult
