Duncow Diaries

Duncow Primary School’s P4-7s have been invited to a Scottish opera on Monday with a show called Vikings. There are Sorcerers, Vikings, Villagers, a queen, a farmer and a sorcerer supreme. We are the sorcerers, we are meant to be villains but we become good in the end. There are six different songs,  Prepare, When you’re a viking, Defenders of the earth, We have the power, Dragon attack and Vikings forever.  Prepare is all groups, When you’re a Viking is only the Vikings, Defenders of the earth is only the Villagers, We have the power is only the sorcerers, dragon attack is all groups and Vikings forever is all groups. We will be going on stage on Monday 3rd of June 2024. I am very excited and also a little bit nervous but I hope all goes well. If you would like to come it is at the Bridge at 2:15pm.

Today in the woods I put my hand in mud. It felt chocolately!

I painted with my muddy hands.

I did a muddy hi – five with Miss Dale.

Mrs McCrudden was painting with me.

I even have mud on my face!!

The P7’s from many schools, including us, as Duncow, Dunscore, Moniave, and many others, all went to Dumfries House for a residential trip full of activities and a sleepover. You stay there for 3 days and 2 nights. I didn’t want to stay for a sleepover so I came on the 2nd day. It was very fun and I got to do Textiles, where I hand stitched a design of a C for my name, Conor, and a 🙂 beside it. Then I did Archery, where I managed to hit a bullseye. Then we went on the Farm Tour and I got to see lots of Birds. I saw turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, pigs, a horse, and lots of other animals.
