P6/7 have been developing their leadership skills with Active Schools and are putting these skills to use, coaching and encouraging P1-3 in some outdoor PE activities.
Well done, everyone!
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!
Another super week of hard work from everyone in Auchencairn and Borgue. We really enjoy celebrating the pupils’ successes in assembly each week and sharing in their achievements, which highlight the four capacites – successful learners, responsible citizens, effective contributors and confident individuals.
In Auchencairn we had Bertie for working hard when learning about money , Daisy for trying really hard with new concepts in maths and great effort in writing , and Toby last week for his superb effort and attention to detail when making his Titanic mini gymnasium model as well as being a great team leader and super mathematician . Well done all!
In Borgue we had Samson for listening well and setting a good example to others, and Lily for her excellent effort in reading! Great job!
We had a super assembly today with lots of achievers!
Most house points this week:
Kester, Elijah and Henry for Ross
Ted, Benjamin and Morann for Brighouse.
Pupil of the week went to Joel in P1-3 and Darcey in P4-7. Well done everyone!
We have also been fortunate to have Amy Niven from Active Schools coming to do some fun outdoor PE sessions with us and both classes received their Gold certificates for completing their alloted number of laps around the field . Thank you to Amy for all her hard work, we can’t wait to have you back soon!
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!

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 had another successful whole school partnership assembly this afternoon, with all the pupils from home and in school invited to join.
