Rota Kids

Leave a comment

A new club has started up in Dalbeattie Primary School: Rota Kids Club  meets once a month on a Friday afternoon in Dalbeattie Primary School. Rota Kids is a junior, school based, organisation linked with Rotary International and its aim is to fundraise and provide service to the local and international community. Our club has been set up and will be overseen by Mr and Mrs Cathro although the running of the club will be very much under the control of the members themselves. Recently the club members have elected their office bearers: president; vice president; secretary and treasurer.

On Saturday 27th April some of the members helped to give information about the new club at the main Dalbeattie Rotary Coffee Morning. They also challenged some of the members of the public with some games to raise money.

P1/2 have baked bread!

Leave a comment

P1/2 have been very busy this week. We have had Sara in from RHET to show us how to make bread as part of our previous topic of Scottish food and traditions. We loved having this opportunity of learning to bake the bread, learning about the ingredients and even taking it home to eat. The children enjoyed having the smell of warm freshly baked bread in the classroom.  We hope you were able to sample the bread your child brought home.

School Gymnastics Competition

Leave a comment

On Thursday 24th January,  our gymnasts took part in after school competition.

Recently, many of our gymnasts, who have been working hard all year, attending after school gymnastics clubs, took part in a regional competition (see previous blog post) so it was great to see all of our gymnasts compete in a school competition to which family were invited to watch. There were prizes awarded for regional level, school competition level and special awards for those showing most improvement.

Our thanks go to Mrs Duncan, Mrs Bradbury and Abigail Simpson who have given so much of their time to develop our young people’s gymnastic skills. We are also grateful to Mrs Bradbury, Abigail and Mr Drennan for being judges for the completion held in school and to Davie Stitt for presenting the awards.

Primary 1 and 2 Party

Leave a comment

Primary 1 and 2 children have just had a fantastic Christmas party. They played traditional games such as ‘I Sent a Letter,’ ‘The Farmer’s in his Den,’ ‘Hokey Cokey,’ ‘Pass The Parcel,’ ‘Musical Statues’ and ‘Corners’  together with some dancing competitions. Before juice and crisps, there was a big surprise:  Santa arrived to give out some little presents! This was quite a highlight for the boys and girls. Thank you Santa! They loved your visit.
