Christmas Service

Leave a comment

Dalbeattie Primary School attended Church today for their end of term Christmas Service. The theme of the service was crackers. Each cracker contained an item that symbolised an aspect of the Christmas Story. Throughout the service there were readings and poems shared by P7 pupils. All children were a credit to themselves and the school. The church was filled with their wonderful singing. Thank you to Dalbeattie and Kirgunzeon Parish Church following allowing us to hold our service in church today and thank you to parents, family and friends who were able to join us for the service.

Our Nativity this year, for 2016, was ‘A Timeless Nativity’ and was written specially for our last Christmas in this school before we move to our new school in 2017.  The story starts with a present day child ‘Johnny’ who is bored with all the singing practice because he just wants it to be Christmas and get all his presents. The teacher has words with him and says he needs to see the Doctor as he is not in the true spirit of Christmas. Cue the Doctor who arrives in his Tardis. He then takes Johnny back to 1876, the year Dalbeattie Primary School first opened so that he can learn something from the boys and girls back then. He then takes Johnny even further back in time to Bethlehem, over 2000 years ago. By the time the play ends,  Johnny now appreciates the true meaning of Christmas and he apologises to his classmates for his lack of enthusiasm earlier on!

On Tuesday 15th of November I attended the Dalbeattie Sea Cadets trophy presentation evening. An update on the units progress over the year was given by Mrs Millar. Commanding Officer Lt(SCC) E. McVinnie RNR then provided an update on progress and achievements of the cadets. Badges and certificates were presented to cadets as well as trophies for achievements. Well done to Logan Bond for achieving the award of best Junior Cadet and to Andrew Millar who received the Endeavour Award for having a go and trying everything so far in cadets and never giving up.

Dalbeattie Primary School was represented at the Remembrance Service in church today by five of our house captains accompanied by Mrs Duncan. The children and Mrs Duncan  along with many other local organisations and members of the public then attended a service in Colliston Park to lay  poppy wreaths at the war memorial in memory of those who have served and those who continue to serve in our armed forces around the world today.
