Triathlon Success
Well done to Aaron and Owen Bryson who took part in a Junior Triathlon at Kirkcudbright today. The boys both swan, ran and cycled as part of the event. The event was organised by the Triathlon Trust. We will certainly be looking to support this event further in the future should it take place locally again. Anyone interested in supporting the school with this please get in touch through the school office.
ibike – Bikeability Training Session 2
Thursday 25th August saw the second group of children undertaking their Bikeability level 1 training with Katie from ibike. The children were very knowledgeable when checking their bikes at the start of session and demonstrated good skill levels and bike handling ability throughout the session.
Well done to all children who participated in both sessions and a huge thank you to Katie from ibike.
ibike – Bikeability Training
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.
Football Tournament
Tonight saw the final two games of our school tournament being played. The overall winners of the tournament were the Lions. Thank you Mr MacDougall and Mr Cathro for all your support and enthusiasm this year in developing football throughout P6 and P7.
P6 Active Schools
On Wednesday morning Primary 6 girls were invited to an active schools session at Castle Douglas High School with all the local primary schools. They had a great morning playing football, golf, tennis and cricket while the sun was shining!
Paul Jones Football
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.
Upper School Sports
Once again another dry, successful and fun sports day for P4-7 . Hooray! All classes took part in a variety of races and all showed supportive and sporting behaviour. The winning house this year was Colliston. Thank you Mrs Blackwood for the action photos of the event.
More Potted Sports
What a fantastic day of sporting activity we had using lots of skills learned in PE over the year! P7 showcased their confidence as effective contributors to others learning as extremely responsible, clear,caring and fun young leaders of the 16 activities around the school. In mixed age teams, all children supported and encouraged one another to have a fun, successful and achieving day I in the sun.

Potted Sports
Pupils from P1-7 participated in a potted sports event today organised by Mrs Gray our P.E specialist. Children took part in fun games and activities using their knowledge and skills from P.E lessons to earn house points for their sports teams. P7 pupils, high school students along with school staff set up and co-ordinated each station and the children rotated round the tasks in their house groups throughout the day. Children demonstrated very good sporting attitudes and were very supportive and encouraging of each other. A huge thank you to Mrs Gray for organising and coordinating this event.
