Mrs Mc Farlane’s last day!
On Thursday the 31st of January it was Mrs Mc Farlane’s last day at Dalbeattie Primary; she retired after many years of teaching. We will miss her.
Mrs Fortnum and her dancers made up a dance to represent Mrs Mc Farlane’s holidays with her husband, relaxing times ahead and her contribution to Scottish dancing after school club.
Not only was there a dance but an award for being a Successful Learner, Confident Individual, Responsible Citizen and Effective Contributor; well done Mrs Mac!!!
There was a song from the choir about Brian, an invisible friend who everyone blames-I wish I had one! The choir was led by Rory Mc Latchie.
Leaving!!
Sadly, Jacinta and Olivia who have been here for almost a year are leaving us and returning to Australia.
They have been a great asset to the school with their happy, smiling faces and enthusiastic attitude. We will miss them very
much!
It has been a great pleasure to have them in our school.
and we wish them all the best!
