This has been a jam packed week to celebrate our final time together with the 10 super star P7 pupils and the classes we are currently in.

How amazing it has been to have a normal school year, totally uninterrupted by any external; factors, and to go back to a sense of normality at last! One of the biggest signs of finally returning to normal was being able to open our doors once again to the parents and grans and grampas and anybody else who fancied it, to attend our Closing Ceremony on Wednesday! 

We spent the entire afternoon celebrating all the fantastic achievements of the past year and wow – was there a lot. From our Super STAR Readers, to our teacher delegated awards, the Rainbow Spelling/Tables Awards and the STAR Award GOLD Certificate! The pupils of Kirkcolm really cleaned up house this year!

We also hope we delighted you with some of our singing (I am sure yopu missed that!) so we had been working very hard this past term to learn the hymns as well as our rendition of Hello Goodbye by The Beatles and our own Kirkcolm version of The Wellerman Song! Available for event hire if you are at all interested… 

To round off the ceremony, we bid a tearful goodbye to our (giant) P7 babies, as they head on off to the Academy! We gave them their yearbooks and their leavers hoodies and celebrated just how much they have grown over the years with the Photostory! 

Finally on Friday (the actual last day!) we enjoyed a nice chilled out day watching films, getting our classrooms all tidied up for summer and spending that ever so important final few hours together before a lengthy summer apart.

We were very much treated in the end by George Keith who kindly donated his Bouncy Castle Assult Course win to us to have fun on and finally, the day was rounded off by a tasty ice cream in the sun courteous of the fantastic ladies of the Parent Council. 

We can’t even begin to thank everyone for helping to contribute to the fantastic year we have all had together, from pupils to parents to teachers, staff and cooks – it has all came together to be a fantastic year together and what a perfect day to finish it off. Here’s to many more years of normality – may we never take it for granted ever again! 

Have am amazing summer folks and we will see you again in August! P7’s, you have been a delight and keep on doing great things! 

-All Kirkcolm Staff 🙂 

Once again – a Huge Thanks to everyone involved for the end of year treats! You are all stars and we are such a blessed wee community and team!
