Today the winners from our Scots Poetry competitions and P7 art competition visited Munchies Park to recite their poems and share art work with the residents. The children all did extremely well and I was very proud of how them all. Well done everyone.
The residents and staff all enjoyed the children visiting. Thank you for having us.
At assembly today we heard the winners from each class reciting their Scots poem. The teachers swapped classes this morning to carry out to the final judging process. All the teachers said what great morning they had and really enjoyed meeting a new class and listening to all the poems. Everyone had tricky judging decisions to make as everyone had done so well.
A huge well done to everyone across the school for learning their poems this year and having a go. This isn’t something everyone enjoys or finds easy but we are proud of each and everyone of you for trying your very best.
Classes and parents were treated to a fantastic performance by P7 today. They shared with us some of their learning through a short play about World War 2. Individual projects and Anderson shelter models we also on display to show case.
Thank you Miss Dooley and P7 for all your hard work.

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.

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.
