A fantastic evening of dancing and games. Thank you to all staff and sports leaders for making this a great evening for the children.
The rain stayed away thank goodness and we had a lovely evening with a cuppa and carols. Thank you to everyone that came along and joined us this evening for a cuppa and joined in some carol singing. The children have been leaning a range of Christmas carols in class. and at assembly over the last few weeks and shared these with family members this evening.
Thank you to staff who came along and supported the event and thank you to our parent council for providing the refreshments.
Great to be involved in the Christmas Fayre on 7th December. Thank you to all classes that participated and to everyone that came along in the evening to support the event.
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.
Some P7 pupils showed their leadership skills today as they helped P1 develop their ICT skills. The children used supportive language, they encouraged the P1 to have a go and gave positive praise as the children completed their tasks successfully. Well done P7.
P5 visited Dalbeattie High School and tested out some health and well-being games that had been created by S2 classes. Great partnership working and sharing learning opportunity. Thank you Ms McQuade for inviting classes over to play the games.
Well done P5.
