Thank you all who turned up to take part in our voluntary beach clean at Rockcliffe today. The event was organised by the Rotakids Club in partnership with the Eco Group. Thank you Dalbeattie Community Initiative for helping supply the equipment and to Mr and Mrs Cathro, our Rotakids coordinators. It was lovely to see so many of our pupils and their families come along in addition to Mrs Duncan and Mrs Stores, HT of Colvend and Kirkgunzeon. We now have quite a large box of varied plastic waste which will form the inspirations for some creative work for our ‘Future Museum’ later this term.

This is a little reminder about the voluntary beach clean this Sunday 21st April 1pm-3pm at Rockcliffe. The event is organised by the Rotakids in partnership with the Eco Group. Thank you Dalbeattie Community Initiative for letting us borrow extra litter picking equipment. Any pupils attending should be accompanied by an adult. It is recommended that people park in the top car park and walk down to the beach because parking can be limited in the bay. No one needs to stay the entire event time. Folks can pop along for a short visit only and help us find some plastic. This will not only help the environment but will also help us in The Eco Group’s Future Museum idea, to be held later in the term, which we will tell you more about later.
Thank you to everyone that was able to join us in church today for our Easter Service. Unfortunately, there were some gremlins in the church sounds system but the children all coped brilliantly with this and sang the 3 songs we had been learning really well. Our P7 readers also shared the Easter story through their readings. Well done.
Thank you to the Reverend Wilson for sharing her Easter message with the children too.
Have a lovely Easter break everyone and thank you for all your support over what has been a very busy term.
