Primary 1-3 Sports

Today we held our Primary 1-3 sports, on a cloudy but dry day, out on the athletics grass area. The children were great and good fun was had by all. However, if anyone has some old fashioned style table spoons for the egg and spoon race, any donations would be much appreciated. We shall be dispensing with one or two after today’s races! We now look forward to Friday when we hope weather permits the Primary 4-7 Sports to go ahead. Thank you to all our parents and grandparents for coming along and for being great spectators too.

 

New Primary 1 Taster Lunch

Today we welcomed our new Primary 1 children to a taster lunch event to try out our school dinners. This was enjoyed by all. Thank you to the kitchen staff for organising this important transition event for us. Later in the week we look forward to the children joining us again for our ‘moving up day’ on Thursday afternoon. Looking on were also our Primary 7 buddies. Our Primary 1 children will meet their buddies soon.

Awards 31.5.19

On Friday 31st May, we had our assembly in the Heughan Hall due to rain bringing the Queen of The South Football Coaching indoors to our own Primary Hall. Once more, we had many very deserving Head Teacher’ Award winners. We were also treated to a display by some of our recent gymnastic finalists. Also exciting was the presentation of certificates to our winners of the Horse Riding Competition.

 

Special Assembly

We were treated today, in a special assembly, to a percussion instrument performance by musical instrument instructor Mr Duffy. Mr Duffy demonstrated drums and the electronic xylophone before inviting pupil, Carrie, to the stage to perform some of the drumming pieces she has been working on. At the same assembly,  Bikeability Awards were presented to our recent participants. Certificates were also presented to our four gymnasts, who have recently competed at the Scottish Primary Schools Floor and vault Competition, held in Perth. Eva Swanston, Sophie McRobert, Abbie Millar and Lily McCubbin  represented their school so well; they came 13th out of 23 teams at Level 2. Well done!
