On Monday all of P1-7 worked with Mrs Graham, Minnie and Mrs Storrie on a group challenge.
After reading “The Scarecrows’ Wedding” the children were given the task of creating a picture with at least 4 different 2D shapes. Lots of super team work happened , with discussion about which different shapes suited each part of the scarecrow. The older children were also excellent at leading the younger ones.
Well done everyone!
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!
P1-7 had great fun at the Dhoon on Wednesday the 25th of June for a whole school trip. Here are some photos of the day!
Week 3 of Forest Fun was all about plants and trees. We did tree rubbings, used identification keys, played matching games and also our favourite warm up game…Eagle Eye!
We hope you enjoy the pictures.
We had another week of successful winners who achieved the most points and Pupil of the Week certificates!
Jake and Henry both received awards for their excellent effort and attitude to learning this week, well done!

Great job everyone!
Mrs Graham also read us a story called “Jim and the Beanstalk” which was really funny! The giant got knew teeth, glasses and hair from Jim and then pretended he was going to eat him! Luckily Jim escaped home.
Here is a link to the story… Jim and the Beanstalk
Both schools have been visiting their local woods this week for a block of outdoor learning that we like to call Friday Forest Fun! We will be doing lots of different outdoor activities to develop skills in team building, cooperation, resilience and confidence. Above all, we will have FUN!
We hope you enjoy these pictures!

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.
Mrs McDevitt also announced some super awards.
