Children in Need
Â
 On Friday 14th November P6/7 and P7 hosted a Superhero themed Children in Need day with dressing up, cakes and treats, and lots of fun activities.  Take a look at our photographs from the day.
Visit to Carlingwark Loch
Rab, the Countryside Ranger, met us at Carlingwark Loch and we investigated the local wildlife. We played some fun games, learned some new facts and tracked some beasts through the undergrowth……sssshhhhhh! Be quiet or you will scare them off!
Photography Sessions
Â
 We decided we would like to learn about local wildlife and Miss Dooley got in touch with Rab, a local Countryside Ranger. He came to the school and took groups from P3a and P3b to do some photography sessions. Have a look at our photographs and see what you think …. say cheeeeese!
Annie’s Delicious Bakes
We wrote to Mrs Allsopp at Annie’s Delicious Bakes to ask her about the products she produces locally and the ingredients she uses. We were lucky because Mrs Allsopp came to visit and she brought with us some delicious cake to try! She also told us all about her products.
Glen Urr Ice Cream
   Glen Urr Ice cream is made with the milk and cream produced from a herd of Ayrshire cows at Halmyre Farm, Haugh of Urr, Castle Douglas. They also make a wide range of fruit sorbets which are made from fresh fruit when available. We wrote to Mrs Davidson from Glen Urr Ice cream to ask her about how the products are produced locally and she kindly offered to come in, tell us about the ice creams and sorbets, and let us have a taste……delicious!
Hendersons the Butchers
Henderson the Butchers in Castle Douglas is a family run business and is run by Charley’s dad……Mr Henderson! The meat in the shop comes from the family’s farm, which belongs to Charley’s Granddad……Mr Henderson! 🙂 Charley’s dad kindly sent us in some beef burgers and sausage rolls, that are locally produced, for us to taste……yummy!

Castle Douglas Town Walk
Mr Tyson lead us on a walk around the town and told us about some of the history of Castle Douglas. Please have a look through our photographs and let us know what you think. Do you recognise anywhere? Do you know a
nything about the history?
