Last week P1 enjoyed a great day out at Dino Park to complete their topic work on dinosaurs. Lucky for us the sun was shining all day and the children had great fun taking part in many different activities. Thank you to Thomas and Miss Yousaf for accompanying us!

As part of our Extreme Earth topic we have been learning about chemical reactions.
Today we carried out several science experiments using vinegar and baking soda to create volcanic eruptions. We made predictions and tried lots of different combinations and methods to discover which one created the best and biggest reaction.
We had great fun but it sure did stink!!!!
Primary 7 have been thoroughly enjoying their PE transition with Mr Drennan over the past few weeks. They have demonstrated excellent skill and stamina in their weekly challenges, despite being worked very hard, and have returned to class with very rosy cheeks!
Mrs Dunlop and P3 have been running a healthy tuck shop this week. There was a variety of healthy snack available and prices ranged from 30p -50p. The tuck shop will be running for the next few weeks on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
Congratulations and well done to Rowan from P3 who won the Council name the gritter competition for the Stewartry Area. Pupils from schools across Dumfries and Galloway were given the opportunity to name some of the council gritters that they see out hard at work over the winter time in our region. Rowan came up with the name Salty Sam and this was chosen as the Stewartry winner. Salty Sam was brought to school today for Rowan and her friends from P3 to see. The pupils also met Wee Dee Gee and got the opportunity to sit in the gritter.
On Monday P6s from Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas Primary schools came together to visit the Glasgow Science Centre as part of their Space topic.
We had a great time watching the 3D movie all about life on the International Space Station. Next we visited the planetarium and went star gazing in our amazing reclining chairs !
We also had a great time visiting the science stalls and doing some of the hand on experiments . Last stop was the gift shop for some souvenirs (coffee for the grown ups!)
A great day was had by all!
