Blood Bike Visit

Recently Judith Sauberlich and Dave Hook from Dumfries & Galloway Blood Bikes visited Kells. The pupils were told all about the voluntary service where blood and medical supplies are transported around the region from one hospital to another. They also got the opportunity to ask questions, and more importantly, sit on the motorbike. The pupils also came up with some fundraising ideas for later in the school year to raise money to support the work of this valuable service.

Annual Scots Verse Competition

On 27th January we held our annual Scots Verse competition. Staff were delighted that Mr Mike Duguid was once again able to visit the school and listen to the pupils reciting their poems and decide the first, second and third places in each year group. The pupils who were given a place will receive their certificates at the Burns Lunch.  Well done to all the pupils involved!

Book Week Scotland 2016

Mrs Banner, Glenkens Cluster School Librarian, presented the Book Bug Bags for the P1 children at Kells last Friday to celebrate Book Week Scotland. Earlier in the week the P7 pupils read the three stories to the P1 pupils and then they voted for their favourite. Mrs Banner will now send all the votes from the Cluster to Book Week Scotland so that a national winner can be announced in January.

The P2 and P3 pupils also received Read Write Count Bags this year.

I am sure they will all enjoy reading the books and playing the number games with members of their family.
