Leavers Assembly and Awards 27.6.24

We had  a lovely assembly on Thursday with our prize giving and P7 Leavers’ memories . Everyone was awarded a trophy for their efforts over the years and we also sang a few special songs that the children chose themselves.

Our P7s also shared a PowerPoint that they had made themselves, sharing the highlights of their years in primary school. We loved their photos !

Thank you all for coming along and we wish our P7s Lachlan and Isla all the best at the high school, they will both be missed !

Bikability for P6/7

On Friday 21st June, our P6/7s completed their Levels 1 and 2 Bikability training with Dave and Stewart. They cycled along the main road and along to Orchardton Tower, then back to school. They learned how to wait until it is their turn to go on the road, hand signals for turning left and right, and looking behind them before turning.

Many thanks to Dave and Stewart for this fantastic training! 3 very tired pupils at the end of the day.

Mini Olympics 17.6.24

On Monday, Auchencairn joined us here in Palnackie for a mini Olympic afternoon of potted sports. Pupils were split into mixed age groups and rotated around various activities such as rugby passing, parachute games, indoor curling and football dribbles . Everyone had a great time and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship .

Well done also to the winning team of the afternoon who all received certificates of merit. Thank you very much to the staff who helped at the event,  as well as our four  Dalbeattie High School sports leaders Olly, Ewan, Eva and Logan who supported at the various stations.
