Touch of Tartan

Leave a comment

What a great day celebrating all things Scottish. The classes have all engaged in a range of cross curricular learning activities today. These have included tasting different traditional Scottish foods, creating a graph of favourite food tasted, designing tartan, creating kilts,  learning about Scots musicians and singing Scots songs. There was also lots of highland dancing in P1 and P1/2. Thanks Miss Kirkpatrick for teaching the children some new dance skills.

Miles from Dalbeattie High School also came across and played the bagpipes to all the classes. There was a great  sound echoing throughout the school from the pipes.

Today we were busy learning more of our carols for Christmas. Everyone was certainly in good tune.

Awards were given for a variety of reasons this week.  Being a role model, excelling in all areas of learning, showing skill in technology challenges and singing, facing challenges with confidence, being helpful in class and always trying their best to come in with a smile were all reasons for awards today. P4 got a class award for the effort in their French lesson this week.Well done everyone.

Fair Achiever School Award

Leave a comment

Dalbeattie Primary is delighted to have been awarded, once more, Fair Achiever Status on 17th November. Over the last two years the School eco group has been involved in activities during Fairtrade Fortnight. This has included class learning and making chocolate and banana muffins with donations of ingredients from local shops (Castle Douglas Tesco, Dalbeattie Co-op and Spar) which helped us to fundraise for the Fairtrade Foundation. In 2023, we also had a successful community challenge which involved pupils searching for Fairtrade products in local shops. We were praised for this in our feedback to our recent application. Thanks go to Dalbeattie Co-op, Londis and Spar for facilitating this activity and to CD Tesco for donating prizes.  Being a Fair Achiever School, means we can attach the logo, being held here by the Eco Group in our photo, to our school headed paper. Going forward, The Eco group has now been tasked with going away to think about ways to do a similar community challenge, to talk about at our next meeting, so that we can plan for Fairtrade Fortnight 2024!

P1-P3 Sponsored Walk

Leave a comment

Despite the rain P1-P3 participated in their sponsored walk around Rounall Woods today. Everyone was amazing and walked round the woods in good spirits. The buzz that could be hear from the front was fantastic. I think there was a bit of fun splashing in the muddy puddles too.
Thank you to all parents who were able to join us on the walk. It was great to have you with us. Thank you also to Mr Drennan and the sports leaders from Dalbeattie High School.

P4-P7 walk tomorrow.
