Dear Parent\/Carer <\/span><\/p>\n

This week ends with blustery winds but dry days so hopefully this means we are going to have a good start to our holiday weather. We finish today for two weeks returning to school on Monday 14th April. We then have 2 short weeks with Good Friday & Easter Monday holidays too. <\/span><\/p>\n

This week Nursey have enjoyed a visit from Zoolab where the children loved meeting & learning about the insects and creatures. It is such a fantastic way for them to learn about snakes shedding their skin & that tarantulas panic and leave behind hairs form their legs if they are in danger. <\/span><\/p>\n

Children from P6\/7 represented the school at the annual Basketball Festival at Whithorn Primary. It was run by active schools and there was a small school league for schools with 2 or less teachers and a large school league for schools with 3 or more teachers. It was a successful day as not only did the children represent the school extremely well they also were winners of the Small School league for the second year running. It was a successful partnership day as Wigtown won the Large School league too. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today P6s from across the cluster are gathering at the DEHS for a day of film making. There are 4 different workshops for them to take part in & learn new skills – 1. Different types of shots & what they mean; 2. Films in Scotland; 3. Storyboarding, creating a film by drawing pictures & 4. Silent film, creating a silent film. I am sure they will be full of knowledge about the new skills they have learned. <\/span><\/p>\n

Looking ahead we have our Easter Service at Kirkcowan Parish Church on Wednesday 16th April at 9.30am. Each class will share a little Easter or Spring item & our P7s will be presented with their leavers hoodies. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our summer term then gets fully underway with the start of the football & netball league, P5 visiting the hatchery and plans being made for P6\/7 Cultural trip, our Parent Council AGM is also Wednesday 30th April at 6.30pm, Bikeability for P7s and Forest School for P5\/6. We will also share dates for sports day and leavers service on our return. <\/span><\/p>\n

All that remains for me to do is to wish you all a lovely break over the Spring holiday and I look forward to welcoming you back into our final term of this school year. <\/span><\/p>\n
