Primary 1 / 2 Pirate Fun Day
Primary 1 /2 has had a great pirate fun day which included a treasure hunt in the playground, ‘sea’ role play storytelling corner, pin the patch on the pirate, make a giant pirate ship from cardboard and cup cake decorating. Thank you Miss Dalton for a fab day!
Potted Sports
Today, the whole primary school has enjoyed a fantastic day of potted sports in glorious sunny weather. The children have been in mixed age house teams as they moved round stations, which were led by the P7 young leaders and included a variety of activities such as the sack race, parachute games, fitness dancing, golf, underarm throwing, orienteering, space hoppers, hurdles, hockey, curling, football, relays, skipping and rugby passing team games. Our thanks go to Mrs Gray, yet again, for organising such a successful event. Our thanks also go to Ross Herrick and the High School Sports leaders, who have all helped too. At the time of writing, it is not yet known who will win the house shield. Last year it was awarded to Dalmun.
Primary 4-7 Sports Day June 2019
A great day was had by all at Primary 4-7 school sports day. This year, we have trialled a different way of organising it. The event lasted over a longer period of time, beginning after morning break and finishing in the afternoon. This allowed more opportunities for some extra races.
The House Shield was won by Craignair with 300 points in 1st place. In 2nd place was Dalmun with 277, 3rd was Colliston with 275 points and in 4th place was Screel with 227 points. The Girls Champion was Jennifer Taylor with joint runners up Jessica Bowden and Sophie McRobert. The Girls 300m winner was also Jennifer Taylor with runner up Amberly Wallace. The Boys Champion was Thomas Brown and Harrison Graham was runner up. The 300m cup was won by Thomas Brown and the runner up was Jamie Laurie.
The school is very grateful to Mr Drennan and this super team of sport leaders from Dalbeattie High School. Their support helped make the day go very smoothly. We are also delighted with our new podium and our thanks go to Mr Nish for making this. Also thank you to past pupil Ross Herrick who returned to help judge races. And thank you to all our spectators who came along to watch the events and to all staff who worked so hard to practice the races for today. Thanks also go to Miss Dalton who presented all the cups. Thank you all!
Primary 1-3 Sports
Today we held our Primary 1-3 sports, on a cloudy but dry day, out on the athletics grass area. The children were great and good fun was had by all. However, if anyone has some old fashioned style table spoons for the egg and spoon race, any donations would be much appreciated. We shall be dispensing with one or two after today’s races! We now look forward to Friday when we hope weather permits the Primary 4-7 Sports to go ahead. Thank you to all our parents and grandparents for coming along and for being great spectators too.
RotaKids Clean Up Community Day
Well done Katie, our RotaKids Treasurer, who turned up to spend her Saturday afternoon helping Dalbeattie Rotary Club carry out a spring clean back at the old primary School. We collected quite a number of bags!
