Primary 4 have just recently had a fun filled day to Rockcliffe and Kippford. This was to tie in with their learning about the Galloway Coastline. At Rockcliffe, they met with National Trust for Scotland (NTS) Rangers to look for creatures in rock pools and to build awareness about the issues of plastic and other litter in the oceans after collecting items from the beach. A big thank you goes to James and David and the other NTS volunteers. then it was time for a walk up the Muckle Hill before lunch on the beach near to Roughfirth. At Kippford the pupils had a visit to the RNLI Station where they saw the crew’s changing room and kit. They even got to try on some of the gear and enjoyed a close up look at the lifeboat itself. We are very grateful to Linda for showing us around. At the Solway Yacht Club (SYC) the children watched some dinghies out sailing together with a safety boat. The children also saw, at close hand, ‘Everest Skye 2, ‘ the namesake albeit number 2 of the dinghy in the Nursery garden back at school, which was gifted by SYC back in November ahead of a boat naming ceremony by Sir Malcolm Ross. At the SYC boat yard, the pupils enjoyed helping to do the final rigging of the laser dinghy before seeing it launched by James Howie. Thank you SYC and the Bishop family. Thank you also to all the parent and grandparent helpers. A great day was had by all!
