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!

Many thanks also to Ms McCall for her hard work in collating and sending in the photos to the newspaper.

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.
