Dear Parent\/Carer
\nWhat a busy few weeks we have had along with a change in the weather.<\/p>\n
Last week saw our netball team playing extremely well against some tough competition. We have continued
\nour run of being undefeated ahead of our final league night. A huge thank you to our extra players who have
\nbeen encouraged to come along, they have all added a valuable contribution to the team. P5\/6 continue to
\nenjoy forest schools with Shalla and Nursery & P1-4 enjoyed another visit from Lighthouse Musicians. Sports
\nday was rained off but our fete happened on Saturday 31st with a strong wind keeping the rain away. An
\nenormous thank you to all the parent council and community volunteers who alongside staff held another
\nextremely successful fete. The park was a busy place and the buzz was just lovely. Please send my thanks to
\neveryone who donated, set up, tidied away and came along to support us. Along with thanks for our funding
\nfrom Kilgallioch Windfarm and KCDT and the BBQ from Kirkcowan Community Council. This enabled us to
\nraise an amazing profit of \u00a31300, this will benefit all the children in the school look out for what they decide
\nto spend the money on next session.<\/p>\n
This week we prepare for the upcoming Glasgow Trip for P6\/7 with two well attended talks at Kirkcowan &
\nWigtown. I have sent my PowerPoint for the sessions along with this newsletter to be sent out to you as I
\nknow not everyone was able to attend. You should all have now received the letters requesting further
\ninformation regarding meals and also consent for medication, trampolining etc.
\nNursery held a successful Grand Prix and they are raising money towards their new outdoor shelter.
\nThen despite long range weather forecasts sports day 2 was a great success. The weather held for the
\nduration of the whole sports and despite some dubious skills in the egg and spoon race the children competed with passion and determination but there was sportsmanship too. Well to done to all the children who
\nshowed resilience throughout. Then after school we had the final of the football league. Kirkcowan had
\nshowed real commitment and skill throughout finishing top of the league, we are all so proud of that
\nachievement. However the system runs that there are then play offs and despite some brilliant skills and
\nteamwork it wasn\u2019t Kirkcowan\u2019s night and we finished in 4th place overall.<\/p>\n
Next week P5 are off on their final trip to the hatchery on Tuesday. P2 are off to potted sports on Wednesday
\nand we also have our final netball league night too. The on Thursday we have a virtual interview for our Digital Schools Award. This is all thanks to Mr Thomson\u2019s hard work and determination who alongside the digital
\nleaders have upskilled all staff and children. We will let you know the outcome of our chat. Then on Thursday
\nwe hope to have a partnership girls football team at Best of the West. Lots of fun and activities too as the
\nterm progresses through June.<\/p>\n
As always please don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch if you need anything at all email me on

\n\u2018Together we succeed\u2019
