Assembly and Awards 6.10.23

Leave a comment

A very busy assembly this week. We celebrated harvest time by singing some of the songs we have been learning this term. We thought about things we are thankful for particularly the food we have and the producers that are busy at this time of year harvesting crops.  Thank you to everyone that has sent in items  for challenge poverty week. Items donated will be shared with the local food bank.

We were joined by representatives from Dalbeattie Rotary Club today to celebrate winning the National Rotary Young Environmentalist competition. Our young environmentalists Rory, Isabella and Lucy were presented with this award by Kate Kerr the President of Dalbeattie Rotary Club. Attached is a copy of the presentation shared today at Assembly by Mrs Howie.

One Planet Picnic

Leave a comment

Dalbeattie Primary has just held its One Planet Picnic, an initiative encouraged by Eco Schools Scotland to build awareness of locally sourced food items in order to help with working towards sustainability and reduction of our carbon footprint. For our ‘One Planet Picnic’ we not only created our own home baking using home grown produce but we encouraged the children to bring in their own morning snacks, which were locally sourced, to tell their classmates about at morning breaktime at ‘Snack  and Chat’ time. We are very grateful for everyone at home for supporting this event so well. We were amazed by the amount of snacks children brought which had been locally sourced in some way. There was everything from home grown apples and carrot sticks to items baked locally together with local cheese and pate. There were some wonderful ideas of things to bring in. Meanwhile, on the same day, the Eco Schools Group had been busy, along with Mrs Houston from the High School’s Hospitality Department, baking individuals carrot muffins using home grown vegetables. The cakes were delivered to the classrooms later on the same day for our pupils to enjoy,  following on perfectly from Mrs Duncan’s Harvest Assembly earlier in the day. Primary 6 also had a go at baking bread using some of their own home grown wheat.

Eco Celebration

Leave a comment

You may recall from one of my weekly messages during lockdown that I shared the fantastic news that we
have achieved our 7th Eco green Flag. To celebrate our achievement, Mrs Howie has planned a fantastic 7k
for 7 Flags event for families to participate in over the Easter holidays. There is also a photo competition to
enter as part of the event. Dalbeattie Rotary, another partnership organisation to the school, are sponsoring
prizes for the photo competition. Please note the information needed at the end of the trail (for question 7)
will not be available until the holidays actually start.
Information about the event is posted below.
