Technology Challenges
P3/4 and P4 have thoroughly enjoyed their technology challenges over the last two weeks. Week 1 involved the children making a car with wheels and week 2 was about creating a drawbridge with moving parts. The children have been working together to follow instructions and build their models and they particularity enjoyed using the saws to saw the wood. They had to measure out different lengths of wood and saw them carefully using the sawing stations in the classroom. The children are delighted with their finished products and we even had a race with the cars int he gym hall. Theo and Firth’s car won the race.
P1F Healthy Snacks
This term P1 have been learning about a healthy diet and so recently we made our own healthy snack! We learned the ‘claw’ and ‘bridge’ technique to chop, slice and shred a selection of vegetables. As you can see we enjoyed creating and eating the final product! Thank you to Mrs Houston from the High School for lending us the aprons and some chopping boards.

Primary 3/4 Tesco Tasting
Thank you to Angela at Tesco Castle Douglas for providing us with a range of milks and cheeses as part of ‘Our Body’ Topic. The class had great fun tasting, discussing textures and flavours.
P5 Fairtrade Workshop
Mrs Dyson was delighted to welcome back Mrs van Zwanenberg to speak to Dalbeattie Primary pupils about Fairtrade and to work with Primary 5 pupils in an interactive workshop. By studying a variety of Fairtrade products and labels, pupils became more aware of Fairtrade ingredients and their country of origin. Pupils sequenced the journey from cocoa bean to bar and discussed the issues facing the cocoa farmers. During Fairtrade Fortnight, Primary 5 pupils continued to develop their knowledge and understanding of Fairtrade and how it helps communities. Members of our class helped run the recent Fairtrade Break whilst many others made a donation to the Fairtrade Foundation through supporting this event.
P5 Scottish Mammal Projects
Primary 5 pupils proudly shared their Scottish Mammal Projects. They worked extremely hard on this homework task to research their chosen mammal, make notes of important information, present their research in an attractive way and create a 3D model of the animal using their own choice of media. After sharing with the class, pupils invited members of P5/6 to their celebration of learning event. Comments praised the fantastic effort made by all. Models and presentations are on display in school for all classes and visitors to enjoy.
