Today, P6 and P7 an outdoor water safety awareness course at LochDoon.
We learned about the hidden hazards within and around the water and how to correctly use the life-saving equipment strategically positioned around the loch. Both classes received essential lifesaving skills training including CPR awareness and defib training and were taught how to float in the water, should they find themselves in danger. They also learned invaluable information about cold-water shock, which is one of the main causes of drowning in Scotland.
A huge thank you to Scottish Fire and Rescue, Police Scotland, Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Loch Doon Ranger Service, Forestry and Land Scotland for their informative sessions.
We are proud to present our first school production, ‘Oliver JR’.
This musical is based on Charles Dickens’ novel, ‘Oliver Twist’. Featuring well known songs like, ‘Consider Yourself’, ‘Food Glorious Food’ and ‘Oom Pah Pah’, you are guaranteed to have a fabulous time and will want to sing along.
Oliver escapes to London in hope of finding his fortune, and is met by a group of pickpockets and thieves, led by the elderly Fagin. Come along to see Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love he looks for, after coming across Nancy, Bill Sikes and the Artful Dodger.
This musical is fun for the whole family, make sure to get your ticket fast as they will be quick to sell out!
We hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather we have been having recently! As it is continue into this week, we will be taking PE lessons outdoors. Therefore, we ask that children come to school with a sun hat. Please let us know if you are unable to source a hat for your child and we can help you.
Can we please also ask that suncream is applied before children come to school, and if possible, they should have some in their school bag (with their name on it) that they can apply themselves if needed during the day.
Our eco group were asked along to help plant trees to restore the banks of the River Nith. It was a beautiful day for our outing, however the soil was very hard because it hasn’t rained for so long! We planted willow trees along the river bank as part of SEPA’s flood defence work and restoring the river for the wildlife.
To celebrate World Bike Day we are encouraging everyone to be as safe as they can while out on their bikes.
