Paul Jones Success

Leave a comment

On Wednesday afternoon both our football teams competed in the finals of the Paul Jones Tournament. I am delighted to share that both teams were the overall winners of the tournament. Both teams played extremely well over the course of the tournament and showed dedication and skill in their football. Both teams displayed the school motto of Believe and Achieve. Over the 4 weeks they all displayed exemplary behaviour and sporting attitudes.

Thank you to everyone that helped transport the children each week to the events and for all your support from the side lines.

I couldn’t have been prouder as they went receive their medals and trophies. Congratulations and well done.

Another fantastic week of football from both our teams. Four wins for each team. Great team work, lots of sporting attitudes and supporting each other throughout the evening. Couldn’t be prouder of these two teams tonight.

Thank you to our parent council for providing a fantastic tuck shop. Very popular with everyone. A warm cuppa went down well as temperatures dropped.

Next week back to Castle  Douglas for round 3.

Excellent art work, being a kind and positive role model, showing commitment to learning, always listening and taking advice are just a few examples of reasons for awards today.

Beach Clean at Rockcliffe Success

Leave a comment

 

Thank you all who turned up to take part in our voluntary beach clean at Rockcliffe today.  The event was organised by the Rotakids Club in partnership with the Eco Group.  Thank you Dalbeattie Community Initiative for helping supply the equipment and to Mr and Mrs Cathro, our Rotakids coordinators. It was lovely to see so many of our pupils and their families come along in addition to Mrs Duncan and Mrs Stores, HT of Colvend and Kirkgunzeon. We now have quite a large box of varied plastic waste which will form the inspirations for some creative work for our ‘Future Museum’ later this term.

Beach Clean this Sunday 21st April

Leave a comment

 

This is a little reminder about the voluntary beach clean this Sunday 21st April 1pm-3pm at Rockcliffe. The event is organised by the Rotakids in partnership with the Eco Group. Thank you Dalbeattie Community Initiative for letting us borrow extra litter picking equipment. Any pupils attending should be accompanied by an adult. It is recommended that people park in the top car park and walk down to the beach because parking can be limited in the bay. No one needs to stay the entire event time. Folks can pop along for a short visit only and help us find some plastic. This will not only help the environment but will also help us in The Eco Group’s Future Museum idea, to be held later in the term,  which we will tell you more about later.

Fair Achiever School Award

Leave a comment

Dalbeattie Primary is delighted to have been awarded, once more, Fair Achiever Status on 17th November. Over the last two years the School eco group has been involved in activities during Fairtrade Fortnight. This has included class learning and making chocolate and banana muffins with donations of ingredients from local shops (Castle Douglas Tesco, Dalbeattie Co-op and Spar) which helped us to fundraise for the Fairtrade Foundation. In 2023, we also had a successful community challenge which involved pupils searching for Fairtrade products in local shops. We were praised for this in our feedback to our recent application. Thanks go to Dalbeattie Co-op, Londis and Spar for facilitating this activity and to CD Tesco for donating prizes.  Being a Fair Achiever School, means we can attach the logo, being held here by the Eco Group in our photo, to our school headed paper. Going forward, The Eco group has now been tasked with going away to think about ways to do a similar community challenge, to talk about at our next meeting, so that we can plan for Fairtrade Fortnight 2024!
