Heart Start Training

Pupils from Primary 6 and 7 classes have recently participated in Heart Start training a British Heart Foundation Initiative. The pupils learned about emergency life support- as the motto stated,  ‘ Simple Skills Save Lives ‘. Training was delivered by members of the Dalbeattie First Responders team supported by the local Fire Brigade. Thank you to all volunteers who attended training to support with pupils learning.

P6G pendulum painting galaxies

P6G had a great afternoon experimenting with colour and the method of pendulum painting!

We used pictures of galaxies as a stimulus and created elliptical patterns with paint. It was not easy and is probably best done outside. There was paint everywhere!! We worked well as a team and shared thoughts about the height of the bottle and size of shape.

Have a look at our galaxies .

P1Y learning about stranger danger with PC Johnston.

PC Johnston came to visit our class to talk to us about Stranger Danger.  We learned about who we could ask  if we needed help, and these people are called safe strangers.

PC Johnston also talked to us about keeping safe on line, remembering that there could be strangers there who might want to talk to us.

We had fun looking at the equipment that PC Johnston had on his uniform.The person on the other end of PC Johnson’s radio said hello to us!

P1F French Breakfast

P1F have been learning about healthy eating and the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast.  We have also been learning some vocabulary in our French work, of which some words were rather familiar! So we decided to join the learning and have a French breakfast in class.  We practiced our vocabulary and then had to ask for the items we would like in French!  Next we rated each item of food and decided we would love to go to France!!
