Thank you to Stephen and Tracy Roan for allowing the class to visit and sharing their farming knowledge and experiences with the class. Thank you also to Fiona Jamieson from RHET for co-ordinating the trip along with Mrs Dunlop. The children were so excited to share their learning with others on their return to school. Well done P3.

Primary 7 have been thoroughly enjoying their PE transition with Mr Drennan over the past few weeks. They have demonstrated excellent skill and stamina in their weekly challenges, despite being worked very hard, and have returned to class with very rosy cheeks!
Congratulations and well done to Rowan from P3 who won the Council name the gritter competition for the Stewartry Area. Pupils from schools across Dumfries and Galloway were given the opportunity to name some of the council gritters that they see out hard at work over the winter time in our region. Rowan came up with the name Salty Sam and this was chosen as the Stewartry winner. Salty Sam was brought to school today for Rowan and her friends from P3 to see. The pupils also met Wee Dee Gee and got the opportunity to sit in the gritter.
On Wednesday, Kate Howard – Musical Director for the Heughan choir came into school to introduce herself to pupils in P5-P7. Kate will be organising and running the choir for any interested pupils from P5-P7. The choir is being funded by the Heughan trust. The choir will run every Thursday this term with a view to a first performance at the official opening of the Heughan Hall in June. Pupils interested in being part of the choir took letters of interest home today. We look forward to hearing the first performance from the choir in due course.
Last week P1 had a fun afternoon making junk model dinosaurs with our parents and friends. First of all we sang a song which finished with some audience partcipation and then we got ‘stuck in’ to the enormous pile of junk we collected! Mrs Fitzsimmons and Miss Yousaf were extremely impressed with all our creative models and collaborative work. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all the mums, dads, grannies and aunties who came along and supported us. We hope you had as much fun as we did!!
Primary 7C have been busy this term recreating some traditional children’s stories into Scots language. Today P7 developed their presentation skills by sharing their books with the P3s, who were a fantastic audience. Thank you P3 and well done P7C!
P1 have been learning about healthy eating this term and combined this with their French lessons. We discussed the importance of breakfast and learned lots of food items in French. We have been very keen following the visit of Madam Marolleau who just happened to bring some French fruit marmalade for us! Take a look at all the yummy food we ate!! Of course we had to ask for it in French!
