Leave a comment

Today in assembly Mrs Duncan shared three songs that classes will be learning to sing for the end of term assembly in June. The songs are about friendships, journeys and summertime.

Awards were also given out today for a variety of reasons. P1/2 received a class award for their fantastic writing this week about the trip to the beach last week. P4/5 received a class award for Theo Tartan Tour performance with Feis Ros and P4 on Wednesday. Other reason for awards today include learning 2 times tables, being more organised and focused with learning, fantastic team work as part of an inventors challenge and  showing commitment and determination to achieving and improving learning. Great achievements everyone.👏👍

We also had some of our nursery children join us for assembly. They are getting ready for their transition to P1 and being part of assembly on a Friday is part of this process. Well done everyone.

Leave a comment

2024 is the 200th anniversary of the existence of the RNLI. In recognition of this milestone event, Kippford Lifeboat Station will be running a competition for children to design a poster celebrating 200 years of saving lives at sea.

The competition will run until June. All completed entries must be received by Friday 28th June. The competition is open to any child. There will be three age categories with prizes for first, second and third in each category as follows – 3-4 years, 5-7 years and 8-11 years.

All entries must be A4 size. RNLI and 200 must appear somewhere on the design. Any medium can be used, e.g. pen, pencil, crayon, paint, collage as desired. The child’s name, age, school attended and parental contact number must be clearly displayed on the rear of the poster. Completed entries can be handed into the RNLI shop in Kippford or Dalbeattie Learning Campus for the attention of Mrs Howie.

The posters will be judged by members of the lifeboat crew and winners announced in early July. It is hoped that prizes can be presented to the winning entrants at the Kippford Station Open Day on 6th July.

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.
