The building blocks are for building structures, rockets and farms and other buildings and you can build whatever you want. These encourage us to be creative!

In Palnackie primary we have a reading chart. Every time an adult from home hears you read you get a tick. After your first twenty five ticks you get a bronze badge. Arri is now working towards our gold badge !

1. In Palnackie we started a new topic on space. The children have made some amazing astronauts and they learnt how to do fore – shortening.  While p6/7 were away the rest of us  did a food plate  about what astronauts would eat in space.

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!

Well done to everyone!

Today is Hlib and Vsevlod’s last day at Palnackie Primary. We have all loved getting to know them over the last two years. Hlib has said he’s a little bit nervous about moving but he is pleased that there is a big park near his new house.

We all wish Hlib, Vsevlod and his family good luck at their new school.

On Friday we had PE with Ms McCall.  We all had fun learning to throwing balls over a greater distance.

Palnackie’s  P7s have had some transitions to Dalbeattie High School. We have also had some teachers from the  high school come and talk to us about going to the high school. Lachlan is looking forward to woodwork, but is a little nervous about maths. Isla is a little worried she might miss the bus, but she can’t wait to meet more new people.

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!

Thanks to Miss Rooney from Auchencairn for the photos below.  More to follow……
