On Wednesday morning P6 went to work with P2 in the infant building as we thought it would be a great idea for P6 to read some of P2’s favourite stories to them.  Both classes were very enthusiastic to meet up again and had a great time sharing books.  P6 were very impressed with P2’s reading and it was great to see everyone enjoying their stories.  P2 are looking forward to seeing their P6 friends in the upper playground next year!

Here are some thoughts from the children:-

“I thought my P2 was really good at listening”

” I thought my P2 had really good expression”

” I thought my P2 was great at changing tone when asking questions”

“My partner helped me to read my favourite dinosaur and monster  books”

“My P6 was really nice to me”

On Friday P6 invited P2 to their classroom in order to entertain them!  They shared their learning regarding the Caribbean and compared this to Scottish Culture.  Two groups ‘performed’ T.V. shows they had produced while all P6 sang ‘The Banana Boat Song’ and then had a dance with P2.  P6 were super hosts to a very good audience and Mrs McLean even got a mocktail!!

Primary 6 recently visited Dalbeattie High School to participate in Science Day with the cluster primaries.  Everyone had a great time meeting the teachers and learning about the senses, electrical circuits and chemical reactions.  Thank you very much for inviting us and planning a great day for us all!

Primary 5D pupils showed their appreciation to Mr and Mrs Butterworth for all the time, support and encouragement they have given us. We personalised a ukulele, gave a frame with our Music Festival photo and fingerprinted musical notes on a unique ukulele shaped card. We have all loved (Mrs Dyson included) developing our skills in playing the ukulele and have learned so much through our ukulele instructor Mr Butterworth. We look forward to developing our skills further next session.

A huge thank you to Mr and Mrs Butterworth!
