Our Sports Captains and Vice Captains have been working with Amy from active schools over the last few weeks on becoming Play leaders for the school. Today the leaders put their skills to the test by setting ups session for P1/2. Amy shared that the leaders had done a fanatic job and they were a credit to the school and themselves. Well done everyone. I can’t wait for you to deliver some of these session in the playground at breaks and lunchtimes for different classes.
Today we listened to extracts from the songs we will be singing in church on the last day of term at out Christmas service.
Awards were also presented. Lots of our school values being demonstrated this week. Commitment to learning, including others being a good friend. effort with daily writing and settling into a new class were some of the reasons for awards today. Well done to. all our achievers.
🥌 Primary 7 took part in an indoor Curling competition today ran by Amy from Active Schools and assisted by the DHS Sports Leaders. Everyone showed great team spirit, encouraging each other and congratulating each other. The nail biting final came down to a 4-4 draw and was decided by a sudden death draw shot. Our winning team, The Fizzy Fantas, were victorious and will now progress to the stewartry schools competition on the 11th December.
A huge well done to all our teams, especially runners up Harris, Sammy, Calum and Korey; and our winners Jack, Darcy, Shiannah and Sophie. 👏🏼
It has been great to see the progress our P4 gymnasts have made over the last 4 weeks. They have developed jumping,balancing and rolling skills. Their precision and techniques have progressed so much. Those that have knowledge and additional experience of gymnastics have also been super at sharing their knowledge and skills to support others. This week we worked on balancing skills on the bean and jumping/shapes on the trampette.
Our sports captains and vice captains have been working with Amy again this week to develop their skills to become play leaders. Lots of discussion, planning and testing activities. We are looking forward to our play leaders supporting classes at lunchtimes through different planned activities.
Some of our P7 pupils took part in their 3rd session of bikeability level 2 training today. Lots of right and left turns. Good road positions and clear looks over shoulders for safety and to have awareness of traffic. Pupils coped well with traffic in training area and followed instructions from sports leaders and volunteers very well. We will try out anew area next week for our last session. Well done everyone.
Two of our house captains Jack and Keira-lee attended the Remembrance service at church on Sunday and the wreath laying ceremony in the park. Thank you both for joining Mrs Duncan for this event and representing the school so well.
Thank you also to Rhuri for sharing the nursery wreath with Mrs Duncan at the park.
