September 13, 2024 Mrs Duncan Leave a comment

Today at assembly we heard from Meadow and Aiden about the Fairtrade activities that the Eco group are going to be undertaking as part of Fairtrade fortnight. Mrs Howie will be sharing more detail in due course. Well done Meadow and Aiden for being confident individual to stand up and share this information

In Friday Focus today the group spoke with me about our school value of being kind. This continued into assembly where I asked the children to think about what being kind means at Dalbeattie Primary. We certainly do have kind children here at Dalbeattie Primary.

We also spoke about the lost property trolley in assembly and the amount of items on this. I have asked the children to try and be more responsible with their property and try to collect it and keep it safe.

Awards were give out today for a fantastic range of reasons. These included being committed to learning, being confident in PE and working collaboratively, working really hard in maths, building fluency in reading and for being a super role model. Well done to all our award winners.

Have a good weekend everyone.

A busy assembly today. The children were introduced to the SHANARRI characters that were created earlier this term. It has taken a bit of time to get the children’s design turned into graphics but with the help of former pupil Molly Boynton we have these completed. Thank you Molly for doing these for us. We think they are amazing.

These characters will be used throughout the school and classes as part of wellbeing and to develop confidence in talking about all the wellbeing indicators.

SHANARRI character designs that were selected for across the whole school. Well done to all the creators.

Please see the picture below in the attached pdf.

Last week in assembly I reminded the children about bringing their water bottles to school and having sun hats and sunscreen for the warmer sunny days. The children have really tried hard with this and I have seen some fab sun hats in the playground this week. Linking in with this, as part of their class learning about the body this term P3 have created sun safety posters. They had initially been going to share with P1 but today they presented these at assembly to the whole school. The children had scripted what they wanted to say and presented their posters about sun safety messages with confidence. Well done everyone Mrs Stephenson was very proud of you all.

Lots of Head Teacher’s awards given out today. The school values were very evident today with lots of awards for commitment and kindness. Making good choices was also something that featured highly today with people really thinking about things before acting or carrying things through. Some good choices made around playground behaviour and helping others. Great results in numeracy and effort across the year in writing were also reasons for awards today. Mrs Grey has noted some talent in football during PE this week too. Well done to all our award winners this week.

May 16, 2024 Mrs Duncan 1 Comment

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.
