P3/4 had great fun today weighing and mixing ingredients and getting our hands dirty kneading dough. We have made authentic Viking bread! Not sure how it will taste but we had great fun doing it! Take a look below.

Bug Hotel Building
On the 28th November, James Hutchinson Visitor Services Supervisor (Natural Heritage) from Threave, came to our Primary 3 class along with his fantastic helpers to talk to us about mini-beasts. They also brought a range of materials to build a bug hotel. This fitted in with our topic from last term, and the children were very enthusiastic, keen to learn and could offer lots of what they knew already.
Some of our class also brought in materials from home to use. As you will see from the pictures, it was a great morning! We were very pleased with the finished product. Freya and Murrin from the class, talked to the whole school at assembly on Friday to let them know what we made/how we made it and also to let them know that it would be placed in our playground to attract mini-beasts.
Thank you to all representatives from Threave for a great experience. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Read,Write,Count
Primary 1,2 and 3 were all very excited today as Mrs Duncan and Mrs Howie joined their classes to share with them their Book Bug(P1) and Read, Write, Count bags(P2 and P3) . The book bags are part of the Scottish Government initiative which aims to inspire a lifelong love of reading, writing and counting, and strengthen links between home and school learning by supporting parents in taking an active role in their child’s learning to give them the best start in life. Mrs Duncan and Mrs Howie read the books from each bag with the children and shared the motivating learning games and activities with them. The children were very also very excited to have been given their bags to take home and share with their families. We look forward to gathering feedback in due course about how families have used these together.

Food Bank Donations – Thanks.
Margaret Copp from Dalbeattie and Kirkgunzeon Parish Church would like to the children and families for the kindness and donations from our Harvest Assembly. The staff at the Food Bank were delighted and wish the children to know their contribution will make a huge difference to many families. The number of families accessing food banks is on the increase as food and fuel bills rise, as well as the cost of baby items. Margaret would like to wish pupils and staff a successful second term.
Photos below show the Food Bank collecting donated items from the Church.
