Sponsored Cycle
On Saturday 1st of June pupils from P5-P7 participated in a sponsored cycle event to raise money for school funds.

Dalbeattie Lions Club and GGB solicitors supported the school with this event and have provided a trophy for the house group that cycled furthest and medals for the team that raised the most sponsor money. Teams will also be allocated points towards sports day totals. Well done and thank you to all those who gave up their time on Saturday to participate and support the event.
Winners in both sections will be announced later this week.
Lego WeDo
On Wednesday the 22nd and Tuesday 28th May, we had the pleasure of Mrs Moyes coming to visit our classroom to demonstrate how to use Lego WeDo and also show us how to become the experts. We learned all about the different jobs within a team and how to look after the resources. We were able to follow step-by-step instructions to complete projects. We worked together to make a snail which flashed different colours and even made sounds! Some of us got to make a working windmill. She explained to us how we could challenge ourselves in the future. It was a great learning opportunity and something we can build upon. Thank you Mrs Moyes!
Primary 3 Soup Making
On Monday 20th and Monday 27th of May, we ventured through to the High School Home Economics department, where we met Mrs Houston. As part of our Food and Farming topic, we thought it would be a great idea to make some soup!
We discussed the importance of hand washing before preparing vegetables to make our soup. Whilst one group was doing this, the others were learning about The Eatwell Guide, and then we swapped over.
At the end of each session, we were able to take our soup home to sample. Thanks to Mrs Houston for her help!
First Responder Certificates
Primary 7 received their First Responder Certificates in assembly last week. They participated in their training with Dalbeattie First Responders earlier this term. The trainers were very impressed with the high standards set by the pupils in P7. Well Done!
