Last week P1 had a visit from Carol Moyes from the STEM team. She taught us what an algorithm was and used the game ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ as an example. We then learned a new game, ‘Bear, Cowboy, Ninja’! We enjoyed playing the game and then drew out our own algorithm to represent it.
Primary 4 had a fantastic trip to Threave Castle and Gardens last week.Thank you to the Rangers for guiding the children round all areas.
Primary 3 had a great trip to Boreland Farm Colvend on Wednesday 9th of May. Thank you to Stephen and Tracy Roan for allowing the class to visit and sharing their farming knowledge and experiences with the class. Thank you also to Fiona Jamieson from RHET for co-ordinating the trip along with Mrs Dunlop. The children were so excited to share their learning with others on their return to school. Well done P3. 
Primary 3 had great fun preparing soup and pizza yesterday but they enjoyed tasting it even more!! Well done P3!!
Last week P1 enjoyed a great day out at Dino Park to complete their topic work on dinosaurs. Lucky for us the sun was shining all day and the children had great fun taking part in many different activities. Thank you to Thomas and Miss Yousaf for accompanying us!
As part of our Extreme Earth topic we have been learning about chemical reactions.
Today we carried out several science experiments using vinegar and baking soda to create volcanic eruptions. We made predictions and tried lots of different combinations and methods to discover which one created the best and biggest reaction.
We had great fun but it sure did stink!!!!
Primary 7 have been thoroughly enjoying their PE transition with Mr Drennan over the past few weeks. They have demonstrated excellent skill and stamina in their weekly challenges, despite being worked very hard, and have returned to class with very rosy cheeks!
Mrs Dunlop and P3 have been running a healthy tuck shop this week. There was a variety of healthy snack available and prices ranged from 30p -50p. The tuck shop will be running for the next few weeks on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Friday 23rd March, history was made in Dalbeattie Primary, within Dalbeattie Learning Campus. Primary 4, under the direction of Mrs Anderson, staged our first dramatic performance in the Primary School Hall. This was the first time, out stage had been opened up to the hall to showcase a play. Primary 4 rose to the occasion. They worked so hard to learn their lines and knew all their parts well. By the end of the show, we had all learned so much more about life in Roman villas and how to build Roman roads. Well done Primary 4 and Mrs Anderson for making history!
Last week P1 had a fun afternoon making junk model dinosaurs with our parents and friends. First of all we sang a song which finished with some audience partcipation and then we got ‘stuck in’ to the enormous pile of junk we collected! Mrs Fitzsimmons and Miss Yousaf were extremely impressed with all our creative models and collaborative work. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all the mums, dads, grannies and aunties who came along and supported us. We hope you had as much fun as we did!!
