Welcome back…and the first award winners!

Leave a comment

We were delighted to welcome everyone safely back to school after a well-earned summer holiday, and wish last session’s P7 pupils Rosie, Logan and Toby all the very best as they begin the next step on life’s journey…high school! We know they will be amazing superstars!

Last week we also welcomed some new faces in our classes as well as our brand new P1 pupils! They are settling in well to school life and we can’t wait to see their potential!

As Covid cases sadly continue to rise in Dumfries and Galloway, we are continuing with our safety measures from last session to ensure that all pupils and staff are mitigating risk and are as safe as we can be. Masks will still be worn by staff, and there will be lots and lots of hand washing and sanitising! Our pupils have been super when doing this and are showing such great resilience.  We are very proud of them!

In Borgue today we had our first awards session!

Jace and Morann were the winners for completing tasks independently and for super art work.

The winners of the house points were Jace and Arthur M for Ross, and Joel and Arthur S for Brighouse! 

Well done, everyone!

Auchencairn Sports Day 2021

Due to the current restrictions, sports day was a little different this year without any of our wider family community able to attend. However, the pupils had a great time at their sports day last week before the rain came and we would like to share a video of the afternoon.  Lots of happy smiling faces!

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!

P4-7: Olivia for marvellous maths and spelling work

Have a safe, relaxing spring break.

Everyone has been working hard as a team and and it is very much appreciated.

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.
