Piping in P1!

Leave a comment

Last week P1 were lucky enough to have a visit from a very talented S4 pupil.  To finish off our Scottish topic work Shannon McMinn came along and played the bagpipes for us!  We all thought she was fantastic and I think a few people around the school just might have heard her too!!

We also performed our own Scottish dance, ate some tasty shortbread and shared some work we produced comparing the Island of Coll and the town of Dalbeattie.  Last but not least, Jessica performed her winning poem.

Today, we heard all our winners from Primary 1 to Primary 7 recite their poems which they had been practising recently. The quality was excellent and it was clear why they had all earned first places in the recent competition.

Primary 7 Scots Poetry and Art Competition

Leave a comment

Judging took place on 15th of February for P7 Scots Poetry finalists and Art competition. Mrs Cathro and Mr Roan from Dalbeattie Burns Club visited school to carryout the judging. Once again standards amongst finalists was very high and the gentlemen didn’t have an easy job with the judging. In fact all finalists received 5/5 for effort. Standards in the art competition were also very high with lots of variety in the compositions.
