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.
Auchencairn came to us this time for our first PE and forest sessions with our volunteer Karen and we had a great time learning about biodiversity .
Sports Day was a success and we managed to squeeze it in after some torrential rain! It was a bit windy but we all had fun.
Well done to our Junior winner April and our joint Senior winners Lachlan and Harris! And well done to everyone for being good sports and taking part. Thanks to Maddie for all her help with keeping Mrs Graham’s maths right when adding up the points!
House Cup winner…….will be announced at the Leavers’ Assembly on the last week of term!
We’ve alos been learning about meta skills and our focus this week has been on creativity. We demonstrated this on Welly Wednesday by creating a new seating area and fire pit for our future sessions.
It has been a fun 2 weeks here at Palnackie, although we did say goodbye to two of our P7s, Hlib and Vsevolod. We wish them all the best in their new home and schools.
We have been working on a wide variety of different tasks this week, many relating to our topic of Space. We had a playground litter pick while the weather was nice and then some fun and games in the woods. Grant has visited twice as part of the Feis Rois music offer, and we are busy rehearsing for our upcoming performance.
We also had wider achievements this week for sailing and Star Reader badges. Our pupils of the week were Harris and Joseph for working hard on maths, reading and top tasks!
Today Mrs Graham showed P4-7 how to create a blog post for our school website. We learned how to add a post and upload a picture . Look our for future posts from our Digital Leaders!
A great time was had by P6/7 who went to Lockerbie Manor for a residential visit with Auchencairn, Kirkgunzeon and Palnackie. Lots of fun activities including abseiling, campfire building and marshmallows, raft building, blind trail and of course the yummy food!

P4-7 worked with Mr Dinning last term to create their very own musical tracks using Soundtrap software. They then created their very own radio show to showcase their tunes, and Mr Dinning has uploaded them to Spotify ! You can listen to them here…
P1-4/6 and P1-4 at Auchencairn had a great trip to the Cocoa Bean today. We all made 2 chocolate treats and had a play inside and outside. Very hot, very busy and great fun! Thanks to all the adult helpers who supported on the trip , and to Miss Ross for organising it, we had a great time!
Thanks to Vsevolod and Miss Pringle who have been diligently feeding the birds in our playground each day, we also had another visitor to the bird feeder…. we all loved this furry little friend! Click below to see who appeared…
