P5 have been inspired by the work of Dumfries and Galloway Amanda Hayler. Their work has created some very eye catching displays around the school.
Read about Amanad’s story and how she became an artist. She is presenting at Spring Fling if interested in seeing some of her work.

P7 pupils visited Dalbeattie High School for lunch and to participate in some transition activities today. The children got to sample the secondary menu and gave lots of 5/5 scores for this when asked by Mr McGougan at the end of the afternoon. The children participated in a scavenger hunt around the school looking for different clues about different curricular areas and then had to solve an anagram about moving to Dalbeattie High School. They also visited Science and H.E to participate in some creative and practical activities. Not sure how many of the crazy creatures created in H.E would make it home or if they children might have eaten them before getting home. Mrs Blackburn has some pictures of the creations that will be shared in due course. Overall a positive day with lots of confident individuals getting ready for the next step in their education journey.
Thank you to Mr McGougan and all staff from Dalbeattie High school for organising and facilitating this afternoon.
Today in assembly Mrs Duncan shared three songs that classes will be learning to sing for the end of term assembly in June. The songs are about friendships, journeys and summertime.
