K’Nex Kits

Leave a comment

Last term our Parent Council donated £1100 to the school and nursery. This provided £100 per class. Class teachers agreed to use half of their money to purchase  a range of K’Nex kits to support learning. The kits are linked to and will support learning in science, technology and engineering.  We hope to see the children working co-operatively in groups when using the kits too. Next year we hope to be able to enter the K’Nex challenge organised by our local STEM team that can lead to participating in wider competitions.

P4/5 helped me with the unpacking and organising of the kits into different storage boxes. We had a test run with the kits too.

The nursery have yet to decide on how to use their money.

Thank you to our Parent Council for your donation that helped us  to fund these kits.

Today we went to Dalbeattie and Kirkgunzeon Parish Church for our Christmas Service.  P7 pupils read poems that shared the Christmas story and the whole school sang a range of carols that they had been learning. Rev Wilson also shared a Christmas message with us. It was wonderful to have family members join us for the service thank you to those that were able to join us today.
