Dalbeattie Primary Parent Council organised a very successful Bingo Night on Friday 20th May. Jim Dingwall was our bingo caller for the evening. Concentration and competition for winning lines and a full house was very intense at times. Thank you to all who supported this event. A fun and enjoyable evening.
On Tuesday 3rd of May Mrs Duncan attended the Dalbeattie Sea Cadet Inspection Night and Parade. The Cadets and Guard were inspected by Inspecting Officer : Captain Peter Adams RN. Captain Adams said that the cadets all looked very smart and he was impressed with their drill movements. The senior cadets shared a PowerPoint called “A Blast from the Past” about the history of the Dalbeattie Sea Cadet Unit. After Stand Easy (refreshments) the junior and senior cadets then carried out a First Aid demonstration with equipment purchased from funds donated by Dalbeattie Rotary Club. At the end of the evening the cadets ended the night with evening colours and a presentation of trophies to achieving cadets.

Some pupils from P5 and P6 are developing their skills as cheerleaders at an after school club with our Active Schools Co-ordinator Amy Niven. Whilst learning different dance techniques and routines, pupils are also keeping fit and active.
An after school session was held today for P4 and P5 pupils to develop their cycling skills. Katie from ibike organised and supported the school with this event. Pupils developed their basic cycling techniques, braking, balance and control. Well done to everyone who took part.
On Tuesday 19th April, teams from the cluster schools assembled to take part in the annual rotary quiz, hosted this year at Dalbeattie Primary. All children involved were fantastic sports and showed superb general knowledge across all areas of the curriculum. Throughout the quiz the running scores were very close between all 4 teams however our deserving Dalbeattie area winners this year were Kirkgunzeon Primary, who scored exceptionally well throughout. Our team from Dalbeattie Primary worked extremely hard and gained a close second. Well done and thank you all children, staff and rotary members involved.
Mrs Burn and I are very proud of our Dalbeattie team!
