Queen of the South Community Plate

Today some pupils from P5-7 took part in the Queen of the South Community Plate at Palmerston. There were 8 schools competing and our team won!

Ben, Jack, Reuben, Cameron, Finlay, Isak, Joesph and Jamie played very well throughout the rounds and then went into the semi-final. This went to penalties, which was very exciting and we got through to the final and won 1-0.

We want to say a huge thank you to Colin, our coach and Mr Carter for his support today.

This was a new competition held by Queen of the South and so we are very lucky to be the first name engraved on the plate! This plate will be kept at Palmerston in their trophy cabinet. We were given a trophy to keep in the school.

Class Pets

A few days ago the P5-7 class got salmon eggs and now almost all of them have hatched!

The entire school was thrilled by them, but sadly a couple of them died before they hatched.

Now the salmon are called fry’s. We were given the salmon eggs by Morag who works for Nith catchment fishery trust.

P5-7 trip to the cosmic gardens of speculations

This term p5-7 went on a class trip to to the cosmic gardens of speculation. We had a great time doing team activities all day  and seeing all the cool and slightly peculiar. We found out so much  from our guide Wendy. She was very helpful and  we saw the snail mound, the bumpy hill and the bridge to nowhere. We  saw a lot more and then we went back home.
