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.

 

D Day Poppies

Remember how, at the old school, we sowed poppies to harvest the petals for the Remembrance Service in September 2014 in Colliston Park to mark the 100 year anniversary of the start of WW1? Well today, they are starting to bloom again, just in time for the 75th anniversary of WW2 D Day. Soon, we will be sowing more seeds in our new school grounds and hopefully they will be blooming later this year.
