Kirkcolm Primary School

Primary 3,4 and 5 recently enjoyed a trip into the Tesco store in Stranraer.  While they were  there the children got to see behind the scenes – including the bakery, offices and canteen.  And, on the shop floor they had a bit of “supermarket sweep” style fun, grabbing items off the shelves and having a go as a checkout operator – scanning items and analysing the receipts.   The boys and girls even got some tasty nibbles to enjoy.

This trip helped them learn more about food production and how it is subsequently passed on to the customer through retail premises.

Our footballers had the opportunity yesterday to get up close with the SPL trophy, as part of a football festival organised by Allan Jenkins.  The team also had the chance to pull on their brand new strips and play several games, supervised and coached by Mr Robert Agnew.  As one member of the team said, “they are lucky strips” – as they never lost a game!

Have a look at the photographs of our team looking smart in the new strips.  A great morning was had by all!

Further photographs will be added to the website www.trustedtrophytour.co.uk as soon as possible.
