Christmas Church Service

Today we went to Dalbeattie and Kirkgunzeon Parish Church for our Christmas Service.  P7 pupils read poems that shared the Christmas story and the whole school sang a range of carols that they had been learning. Rev Wilson also shared a Christmas message with us. It was wonderful to have family members join us for the service thank you to those that were able to join us today.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a safe and happy holiday.

Fun 31 P1 – P3

P1 had some great fun with the musical instruments as part of Fun 31 today.

Wren and Ethan from P2/3 were busy creating a Christmas tree from Lego.

Numeracy and measure crept into Fun 31 today and we were also busy measuring with the multi link cubes to see if the towers could be as tall as Mrs Duncan. We then measured how long the cloakroom door was. Great counting and measuring Aria and Owen. We also used a meter stick and calculated the door measures 3m 21 cm.
