Work Begins On Site
Work has begun on our new Dalbeattie Learning Campus. In Term 4, we shall be taking classes to view the construction site. We are very grateful to Dalbeattie High School for helping to organise this in partnership with us. We are also delighted to be able to contribute, from time to time, to a weekly bulletin, produced by the High School, for the new build site. We shall provide links to this when available. Dalbeattie Primary School will also update this page with pictures of our class visits, as they happen, and give a brief overview of progress on site. Please also note, that the Primary School has a display of the plans and construction timetable for your information, on the wall next to the Office area.In the meantime, we are pleased to post the following two photographs of the site, taken from the High School’s windows.

Quiz Night
Thank you to all those who joined us for our Family Quiz Night on Friday 11th March. 10 teams participated and challenged their brains at the end of a busy week. The quiz consisted of 8 different rounds with questions and puzzles for the whole family. Thanks to Keith Dickie for coming along to compare and run the event. The winning team on the night were the ‘Quizzer Sisters’. Well Done.
P5D Win Shield at the Music Festival
We were extremely proud of all Primary 5D pupils who performed in the Dumfries and District Music Festival on Friday. The class have loved receiving instruction with playing the ukulele from Mr Butterworth every fortnight. Mrs Dyson would like to thank Mr and Mrs Butterworth for all their input and support. The class enthusiastically performed “What shall we do with a ukulele?” and won the Ian Hart Shield and a Certificate of Commended Performance. The adjudicator commented: “You sang strongly and clearly throughout. Balance between the ukuleles and singing was always good. Strumming was largely rhythmic and chord changes were confident. Overall, an excellent approach resulting in an enjoyable performance.” We look forward to adding our engraving and displaying the shield. A big thank you to Mr and Mrs Butterworth who also presented every pupil with a special medal when coming off stage – a wonderful momento of our performance!
Beat The Street
Beat the Street is back in Dalbeattie from 16th -24th of March. New maps, cards and newsletter have been provided for all pupils.We look forward to seeing people out and about participating in this great initiative once again.
