Come along and look at our exhibits to see what our young people thought of the plastic objects which were found on a recent beach clean. This has been an activity in which the whole school P1-P7 took part, working collaboratively together.
£1 entry is for juice and biscuits and a short quiz sheet. There will be a chance to vote for your favourite team name and also the team with the best imagination. There will be prizes for the winners and for three lucky entrants whose sheets are pulled out of the hat. Prizes will be given later in the week. Do pop in for a visit.

Thank you all for coming along and cheering. Well done sports captains and vice captains on encouraging your teams. Thanks also to John and Ross from Active Schools and our High School sports leaders.
Here are the first few pictures of our sports today. These pictures are from the morning and the first part of the afternoon. More photos to follow in other posts. Well done all; there was some super sportsmanship shown and some lovely encouragement by our P7 sports captains.
Here are just a few pictures from our sports this morning. Well done all! It was lovely to see everyone having fun and smiling.
Thank you all for your wonderful support today. We do not yet know, exactly, the amount raised but we think it will be at least £40. We used 200 coins to write the number 200 and kept adding layers of coins until we had some quite high stacks. This fundraiser was for Kippford Lifeboat and also to mark the 200 year anniversary of the RNLI. Well done everyone. Thank you School Pupil Councillors for organising this and to Kippford RNLI for supplying the stickers. Thank you to local lifeboat volunteer Keith who came to give us water safety talks today. P.S Remember the lifeboat poster competition. To see the details again, read further below the pictures form today. Thank you
For the poster competition for Kippford RNLI, here are the details again:
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 Thursday 27th 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.
It’s wonderful to see so many of you sharing your wider achievements in school with us. Please remember, to send in your child’s PASS booklet for assessment and to be considered for an award and/ or prize. They are a great way to have wider achievement recognised. Children with grey or yellow booklets will have partially completed booklets and will be considered for interim prizes. (Yellow and Grey booklets take 3 years to complete.) Please send the booklets into school no later than Monday 24th June. They will be returned to your young person afterwards to continue filling them in until complete. For anyone who has lost their booklet and is keen to fill it in, do let us know as we have a few spares. Current P2s and P3s were given grey booklets during their P2 year. Current P5s and P6s were given yellow booklets during their P5 year. Children in nursery were given brown ones and may now have completed them. Some children will still not have booklets as the newly launched booklets have been phased in following reintroduction after Covid. By next year, all children will have a booklet in process. Thank you
Please remember that this Friday 21st June is the day for children to bring in any 2p coins they have gathered up for our fundraiser for Kippford RNLI. The School Pupil Council will be helping pupils to lay their coins on a design, using 200 x 2p coins, to make the number 200 on the school playground. Once we have laid 200 coins, we will start a second layer and so on. One layer will amount to £4 but hopefully we will get enough coins to make a few layers, increasing the amount we raise. Our water safety talks from a RNLI member will be in the afternoon. Please also remember the Kippford Lifeboat poster competition. (details are in a previous post.) Entries for this should be given to Mrs Howie by Thursday 27th June. Thank you
Hope pupils and parents can come along to this event to support our Eco School’s work.
