Partnership Assembly 12.3.21
Mrs McDevitt welcomed pupils from across the partnership to another virtual assembly, with one more to go for Easter.
We are looking forward to welcoming back our P4-7 pupils on Monday and can’t wait to see everyone’s happy faces.
We were thinking about thanking people who have helped us during lockdown and Mrs McDevitt would like to thank all of the pupils for their hard work, parents for ensuring that pupils are completing as much as they can, and all the staff in school for keeping the learning and childcare going since Christmas. Everyone has been working hard as a team and and it is very much appreciated.
Auchencairn and Borgue pupils have been featured again recently in the Galloway News , which can be seen on the previous post.
We would love to have more pictures of the lovely pancakes from the kits that were sent home to every pupil last week, along with a Scottish themed book.
We also had some super Pupil of the Week awards, well done to everybody!

Partnership Assembly with Mrs McDevitt
We had another successful whole school partnership assembly this afternoon, with all the pupils from home and in school invited to join.
Mrs McDevitt shared the good news that P4-7 will return to school full time from the 15th of March and we cannot wait to see them all!
Pupils also had a surprise today- everyone will be receiving a recipe and some ingredients to make yummy pancakes, as well as a Scottish book, to round off our Scottish theme this term and the end of World Book Week. We would love to see pictures of these being made and eaten so please send into school.

Mid Term break
We would like to thank all our pupils and parents for their hard work these past few weeks, and for the work you have all handed in. We know it is not easy to work from home and we are very proud of our Auchencairn and Borgue children. It is now time for you all to have a well earned rest and a week off school!
We are hopeful that P1-3 will be in school from the 22nd of February, but we await the Government’s decision on this.
Stay safe and well next week!
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Our super children have been featured in this week’s Galloway News, highlighting their dedication to home learning. We thank them for their efforts in completing these tasks and we are delighted to see their cheery faces, we miss you all!
