Partnership Easter Assembly

We held our last virtual assembly today, across the partnership. Classes shared some of the work they have been doing this week about Easter and spring time, including Easter poems, stories about bunnies and beautiful spring / Easter pictures.

We also had a one minute silence to reflect on the past year, living with Covid-19 and coping with all the changes that have affected our lives. We thank everyone who has helped to keep us all going during the two lock-down periods.

We also had some super award winners!

Have a safe, relaxing spring break.

Pupils (and staff!) dressed as Superheros today, in honour of Comic Relief. Thank you to everyone who donated and made the effort!

We learned about the charity work that Comic Relief does and who benefits from it. We watched Ethan’s story about how he has been helped. We also had a fun quiz and everyone got a sticker!

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.
