Potted Sports for all!
It was a great day for the Potted Sports, the sun shone and the children had so much fun!
This year we had them over two days and everyone had a go at everything which was great!
We had lots of lovely parent volunteers which was great, thank you so much!
The Primary 7s did a grand job with the younger ones and looked after them very well, good job!!
Poppies
Poppies were planted for the centenary of World War 1, as a follow up the History Club work Mrs Howie plans to try and press them and then to add the poppies to the little crosses that we are going to put beside the Dalbeattie memorial.
They look lovely!

New Build news
In addition to all the consultation work carried out (with all pupils, staff and parents,) school staff have also taken part in several surveys to reach a shared vision for our new learning campus. This has informed what has been fed into meetings with the design team….. and here we are now!
Our vision of the future!
Sad to see them go!

Meet the Author – William Sutcliffe
Primary 4-7 pupils enjoyed an entertaining afternoon, thanks to visiting author William Sutcliffe who was organised to come to Dalbeattie Primary through the Scottish Book Trust. William Sutcliffe is the author of ‘Circus of Thieves and the Raffle of Doom’. Mrs Dyson’s Primary 5 class were so eager to promote this hilarious book to others, that they created their own book trailer (available to watch on our school blog) to be shown at the start of the event. There was a lot of laughter when William Sutcliffe read extracts from his book and selected volunteers to dramatically act them out. The afternoon proved a rewarding experience for all; finding out more about the world of writing and receiving top tips. Pupils were delighted when he took time to sign copies of his book. This was an exciting event for our pupils and William Sutcliffe commented on the wonderful enthusiasm shown.
Country Dancers
In memory of Mrs Janice Jamieson Mrs Fortnum created a special dance ‘Just a Ray of Sunshine’ which was performed at assembly this morning. The bright tops of the dancers reminded us of a rainbow and Mrs Jamieson’s bright smile.
History Club
Mrs Howie and Mrs Irving have been running an after school History Club because we are entering the British legion competition for the centenery of the First World War. The children attending the club all had a connection or an interest in someone remembered on the memorial in Dalbeattie Park. The children were involved in researching information and recording it on a spreadsheet then putting a dot on the map to represent the place where the members of the forces had died then finally preparing their art work. It has been a joy to see them commit to this task and get involved in all the work. Thank you also to Mrs O’Donaghue and Mrs Heindrich for helping us.
