On Friday the 15th of March our choir entered a competition for Dumfries Music festival. We had so much fun !!! We got two 1st and one 2nd. The songs we sand were ‘Holly the Hedgehog’, ‘Hallelujah’, ‘Gospel Gospel’  & ‘Happiness’. We sang ‘Gospel Gospel’ and ‘Happiness’ with Hoddom and Eaglefield. This is the shield… 

On Saturday (Zara in P4 & Isla in P6) Zara sang ‘A dream is wish  your heart makes’ and  she won and got a shield.This is what it looks like ……….

Also Isla sang ‘Castle on a Cloud’ and ‘The Lea Rig’ which she managed to get a Distinction awarded.

Lucy also recently took part in the Carlisle and District Music Festival and gained a Certificate of Merit as part of her group playing. Well done, Lucy!

On Wednesday the 13th of March we – Lucy (skip), Callum (vice skip), Alistair (the lead) & Nathan (2nd stone bowler) – competed in the Lockerbie P7 Curling competition. At the event there were 20 teams with us winning 1 & drawing 1 to get through to the 5/6 play off. We played our last match against Nethermill Primary beating the school 3-2 for 5th place. It was a great day & we had loads of fun. The winners on the day were St Mungo Primary. We earned a silver medal!

  On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day by bringing in our favourite book. In small teams the pupils then had to try to work out whose book was whose and why! It was very impressive how many were guessed correctly and what good reasons were given. Along the way we learned lots about each other. We finished off with a few rounds of some very challenging World Book Day quizzes.

At the weekend I was at Grangemouth swimming in the Forth Valley Disability Sport – Regional School and Club Swimming Championships. I got a gold and silver medal. One was for back crawl and one for front crawl. I think all the people that I raced were older than me. I had lots of friends.

Last night, 7th of March , I played my debut (after 7 months preparing to play matches) for Brian Gilfillan Little Tekkers. Being only 11 it was a big step up to be playing with 13 year olds and the like but the bigger achievement for me was being named captain to play on the astonishing Palmerston pitch! Against a side like Queen of The South U14 boys & being our first game it didn’t quite go to plan losing…….. 15-0! Anyway it was a big moment in my life to play for an ex-professional footballer (Brian Gillfillan) , being named captain & playing on QOS’s pitch!
