A group of 22 Primary 5s went sailing, kayaking and canoeing today at Carlingwark Outdoor Education Centre. The children were very brave on the water, trying out the new sports and they worked well in their teams to complete the challenges.
Well done everybody! I hope you had as much fun as me!
Miss Agnew 🙂
Going behind the scenes at Tesco in Castle Douglas was a great experience for the children. The Farm to Fork trail helped them learn more about where their food comes from.
As you can see the children thoroughly enjoyed their cooking and baking sessions last month. Well done to many of the children who tried new foods and liked them!
Despite the rain, we had a super trip to Boreland of Colvend last week. Some of the highlights included seeing the dairy cows being milked in the parlour, testing out the tractors and quad bike and of course feeding the calves and lambs!
Thank you to the Roans and RHET! (and the BBC, who were filming).
What a super effort from Primary 3! They have designed and created their own miniature farms at home. Thanks to all parents for your support. They are fantastic!
Primary 4 have recently been on two fantastic class trips linked to this terms learning about Dumfries and Galloway. The first trip was to Threave Castle and Gardens and today the class along with P4/5 went a walk through our local forest to the Granite Heart stone.
Below are three reports about the trip to Threave Castle and Gardens and a selection of photos from both trips.
P4 Visit fantastic Threave Finlay
Primary 5D pupils participated in an amazing ComputerXplorers Workshop and astounded everyone with their engineering skills. They used the latest Lego Robotics Technology to build and program amazing creatures that moved using motors, gears and wheels. Pupils learned how to program sensors to make robots respond to their surroundings. They worked collaboratively to make Lego lions roar and then lie down when thrown a bone. They used skills of coding and programming to make crocodiles snap, sailboats rock, footballers dive randomly for the ball, kicking legs , plane engines rev and a sleeping giant wake up when approached. Mrs Dyson, Mrs Connel, Mrs Cox and Mrs Ross were blown away by the teamwork and computer skills demonstrated by every single participant. Fantastic work Primary Five!
Primary 5 pupils enjoyed practising their French conversation during our French Breakfast. They ordered breakfast items for each other and enjoyed tasting a selection of traditional breakfast items. Mrs Dyson and Primary 5 pupils would like to say a special thank you to Mrs Kinghorn for organising the event. Merci Madame Kinghorn! As this was Mrs Kinghorn’s final session in our class, we surprised her with a special thank you card.
Primary 4/5 had a wonderful French breakfast with Mrs Kinghorn this morning. They enjoyed chocolate croissants, brioche bread, baguettes and juice. The children had to order their food using the French language they learnt in their lessons. It was a lovely last morning with Mrs Kinghorn.
Primary 4/5 unfortunately had to cancel their trip to Rockcliffe and Kippford due to bad weather but they worked in teams to research Hestan Island and created these great information posters.
