Today (3rd March) we celebrated World Book Day and how important books, authors and illustrators are in our lives. In Mrs Gregg’s class we drew pictures of our favourite book characters and wrote what we liked about them.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more things you learn the more places you will go!” Dr Seuss
And just like that, it’s the final day of Virtual Sports Week!
Don’t forget to get your sheets/photos/videos to us so that I can collate the points and we can organise certificates for next week. You can either email them back to me at sa12greggs@glow.sch.uk or send me a picture of your sheet through Facebook Messenger!

How to play:
If you have any questions please feel free to email Mrs Gregg on above address or through Ballantrae Primary Facebook page.
The nursery boys and girls have been learning Gaelic with the help of Ruby and Evelyn from primary 6. They have been singing Gaelic songs and learning how to say colours in Gaelic. Today we sang a song about a Damhan-allaidh (spider) !
The EYC children, as part of their learning, made and sold Flapjacks to the school boys and girls as a wee enterprise task. They enjoyed making the flapjacks and biscuits together, then set up their wee stall in the foyer to sell them using the play money till. We sold them for 20p each and made £6! Job well done! The school children were asking when the Pop-Up shop will be back!
Primary 3-4 perfected their cycling skills today at Culzean! We cycled twice from the swan pond to the castle, across to the deer park, around the Gruffalo wildlife gardens and through the woods back to the swan pond! Sun was shining and all had a fantastic time!
Primary Four and Five had a fantastic day at Dumfries House for the Spring Festival of Farming. We were taken around their Farming School and shown around a wide range of activities and demonstrations. We met lots of interesting people who told us their professions and skills. We found out about soil and planting, bees, farm livestock, farm to fork, agricultural policing, farriers, game dogs and loads more! We even saw a Royal Visitor, Prince Charles!
‘I loved the dogs. It was Gus’s first birthday and we sang to him!’ – EM
’I enjoyed looking at all the animals like the turkeys and the pigs.’ GM
It has been a long but worthwhile wait and the reaction of our boys and girls when reunited with their school was priceless. They had a great day exploring their new learning environment and using our new resources. We are all so happy to be back in the village.
