Welcome Back
Welcome back to Term 2 at Crossmichael Primary School. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to this term. Last term, we raised an amazing £1070 on our Sponsored Autumn Walk so thank you very much to everyone who contributed.
Halloween Party
We are having our Halloween party on Wednesday 30th October in the afternoon. Pupils can change into their costumes after lunch. They may wear non-uniform instead. It should be SPOOKTACULAR!!
P5, P6 and P7 Biosphere Explorers!
The Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere has a vision to make life in our Biosphere better while caring for the natural environment. A key strand of this is the education of the next generation biosphere residents in sustainable development, increasing awareness and connections with the ‘working countryside’.
The Biosphere Explorers project, run by the Crichton Carbon Centre and funded by the Hollywood Trust and the Galloway Glens Scheme, is working towards this aim with an education programme delivered in schools consisting of a series of workshops aimed at increasing knowledge of the local natural environment and human interactions with it. This project will run for two years and will be focussed on school age children, with elements for all residents of the area.
Our P5, P6 and P7 pupils will be participating in these workshops each each Tuesday afternoon (from 29th October) led by the Biosphere Explorers Officer, Shalla Gray. The sessions will include:
Please ensure that pupils have brought their outdoor clothing with them on these days.
