Katie from ibike joined us after school today and trained pupils at Bikeability level 1 . Children developed their awareness of cycling positons, bike handling and control, braking and set off skills. Our second group will participate in this training on Thursday 25th August. We hope to offer Bikeability level 2 training for pupils later on in the school year.

Country Dancers Entertain
Mrs Fortnum and some pupils who have attended our country dancing after school club this year visited Barlochan Care Home at Palnackie today and entertained the residents with some dancing. The dancers and Mrs Fortnum performed a selection of dances some of which were performed in the Dumfries Music Festival and more recently, some that have been part of the accreditation process for several dancers. The staff and residents thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and a few joined in a short dance with the pupils.

Our school football team played in the finals of the Paul Jones Cup on Saturday at Kirkcudbright. The team played well but unfortunately didn’t reach the overall final. Well done to the team and thank you to Mr MacDougall and Mr Cathro for giving up their time to train and support our team throughout the tournament. Thanks must also go to the team at Active Schools for the fantastic organisation at each round in the tournament and on finals day.
