P7 Transition Afternoon

Leave a comment

P7 pupils visited Dalbeattie High School for lunch and to participate in some transition activities today.  The children got to sample the secondary menu and gave lots of 5/5 scores for this when asked by Mr McGougan at the end of the afternoon. The children participated in a scavenger hunt around the school looking for different clues about different curricular areas and then had to solve an anagram about moving to Dalbeattie High School. They also visited Science and H.E to participate in some creative and practical activities. Not sure how many of the crazy creatures created in H.E would make it home or if they children might have eaten them before getting home.  Mrs Blackburn has some pictures of the creations that will be shared in due course. Overall a positive day with lots of confident individuals getting ready for the next step in their education journey.

Thank you to Mr McGougan and all staff from Dalbeattie High school for organising and facilitating this afternoon.

P4/5 received a class award for Theo Tartan Tour performance with Feis Ros and P4 on Wednesday. Other reason for awards today include learning 2 times tables, being more organised and focused with learning, fantastic team work as part of an inventors challenge and  showing commitment and determination to achieving and improving learning. Great achievements everyone.👏👍

We also had some of our nursery children join us for assembly. They are getting ready for their transition to P1 and being part of assembly on a Friday is part of this process. Well done everyone.

The competition will run until June. All completed entries must be received by Friday 28th June. The competition is open to any child. There will be three age categories with prizes for first, second and third in each category as follows – 3-4 years, 5-7 years and 8-11 years.

All entries must be A4 size. RNLI and 200 must appear somewhere on the design. Any medium can be used, e.g. pen, pencil, crayon, paint, collage as desired.
