Happy Burns’ Day!

 

Today is the birthday of the Scottish Bard, Rabbie Burns who was born on the 25th of January 1759 in Alloway. He died in Dumfries,  at the age of only 37.

Scottish children have been learning about the legacy of Burns for many years and teachers have added some Scottish tasks to their learning grids this week.

Here are some links to a few more activities if your child would like to know more…

MS Teams issues

Message from the authority today:

Unfortunately, Microsoft have confirmed intermittent issues across UK this morning in accessing Teams.  This is affecting some of our Glow users. They are actively resolving the issue and will report back as soon as possible.  This is intermittent, so you can try again later this morning or this afternoon.

You can still access the timetables via the Home Learning January 2021 tab on this blog.

Home Learning 11.1.21

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Home Learning timetables can be found at the top of the blog under the tab “Home Learning”. They can also be found in your child’s Microsoft Team, once they have logged into Glow.

Please also collect any work for your child that has been left in the outdoor classrooms, should you need paper copies.

If you need any stationary, please contact the school and a pack can be put together for your child(ren) as before.

Thank you.

End of Term at Borgue!

It’s the last day of term and pupils have enjoyed their Christmas assembly in school, instead of the community hall as normal.

P4-7 performed “Jingle Bells” and “We Wish you a Merry Christmas” using British Sign Language.

They also shared the story behind Christmas ,of the baby Jesus, born in a manger in Bethlehem.

P1-3 performed Jingle Bells on percussion instruments, which was lovely! Well done everyone!

We also found out who the winners of the Christmas hampers were. Nathan won the children’s hamper and Michael’s mum won the family hamper! Excellent!

Thank you to all that bought tickets, we managed to raise a grand total of £147  for school funds which is amazing!

Finally, we would like to thank all of our Borgue pupils, families and school community for you support the last two terms.

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

End of Term Auchencairn!

It’s been a busy week here in Auchencairn! All the pupils are excited for Christmas and it certainly isn’t long!

Lottie, Alba and Rosie have been busy tidying the big class library and they’ve done a super job!

The pupils in the big class have also been busy making Christmas tree decorations with Mrs McDevitt , which should be coming home with them for the holidays.

And finally we had our end of term Christmas assembly in school.  Lots of winners and prizes given out!

  • Pupil of the week in the big class was Alba, well done!
  • Christmas hamper winner – Mrs McClure ( Daisy’s Mum) Wow!
  • Children’s hamper winner – Christopher, brilliant!
  • Rotary ‘Young Photographer’ competition. Certificates were awarded for entrants and First place in the P6-7 section was Archie, and second place for P4-5 Forrest! Well done boys!

We would like to say thank you to everyone in our school family and the wider community for their support since returning to school in August.

Have a wonderful Christmas holiday!
