Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits
Ali Baba & the Bongo Bandits is our new end of term play for the P7 leavers show. It is a tale of adventure and treachery with powerful villains and unsuspecting heroes. This is a fantastic play and one that you’ll extremely enjoy!
P6-7 residential
P6-7 went on residential from the 17th to the 19th of March 2025. We got a bus 🚍 from school to Whithaugh Park with Moniaive Primary. We travelled for an hour and a half! When we arrived we got our bags of the 🚍 . We headed to the main cabin called ‘The Oak’ and we put our bags inside. One of the leaders came in and gave us some important information.
We spilt into groups for activities, we did the following:
- Abseiling, rock climbing, swimming, archery, low ropes,
- raft building, zip line, night walk, inflatable obstacle course,
- Ben and Ella both P7 have picked there favourites activities and they where:

You brought your own snacks to eat when you got hungry or if you didn’t like dinner. The rooms were good quality and we had good chats in them 🙊.
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.
P5/6/7 Salmon Eggs
P5/6/7 have been given Salmon eggs by the Nithdale River Trust, we were excited. The whole Class have watched them hatch into some baby salmon on the 2nd week of having them. The white things on the filter are the empty eggs that have hatched by Ella😝 /Harley🤓
The Scottish Wars of Independence
The new class topic in P5-7 is about the Scottish Wars of Independence.
Rock UK Visit
Whilst we were going to Kielder Forest on holiday I stopped by the Rock UK with my family. We saw a zip line down from a big hill and the lodges. It looked great!
Maths week
This week is amazing maths week. Our teachers gave us a couple of questions. I only got one question done! We also got a PowerPoint Quiz it was amazing.
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.
