We are delighted to see the Primary 1 photos of our departing P7 children in the Kilmarnock Standard this morning. It was a lovely idea the paper had to help give all the children heading to secondary a fond farewell. Why not have a look in the paper to see how many you recognise and enjoy the poem written especially for the. All the best next week 7s – you’ll be fine!

Twas back in 2013

You came through Gargie doors

All shiny and polished,

Wondering what was in store

Miss Houston, Mrs Mackie

Mrs Marshall – all three.

Your very first teachers

How special they would all be!

The years rolled on

And older you got

Some came. Some left

But they’ll not be forgot

Base 1, Base 2

The more you grew

Base 3 and Base 4

The years just flew

The day finally came

You were Primary 7

Captains and Prefects

It was absolute heaven!

Panto Pandemonium

Of this you were stars

We will never forget

How amazing you are!

Then along came Covid

It ruined our plans

No Arran, no party

None of us were fans

But we want you to know

Whatever you do

We think you’re so special

And we’ll miss all of you.

Brooke wrote this fabulous poem for the staff and we would love to share it with you. Thank you, Brooke!

Well it is Leavers’ Day! It wasn’t the week we were all expecting and hoping for but Mrs Mackie, Miss Davidson and Mrs Lawson all hatched plans to give them some special memories to take with them.

On Wednesday 50 bags with their leavers’ hoodies, secondary school ties and autograph books were hand-delivered in surprise visits to the Primary 7 houses. It was an emotional day but one that everyone will remember.

Miss Davidson and Mrs Mackie had also made a year book for them to download and keep with everything from their Primary 1 photos, pictures from P7 and messages from the staff.

Primary 7 you have been an amazing year group and we wish you all the very best as you head off to secondary. We will look forward to hearing all about your achievements and successes, but in the meantime have a wonderful summer!
