The Dalbeattie Primary School History Prize which has been donated by Dalbeattie Museum was presented to Jamie Laurie for his outstanding interest in this local history project about the Titanic. The trophy was presented by Mr Tommy Henderson and Mr Donald Henderson made a very fitting speech about Murdoch being a former pupil of the school and how poignant it was that this cup was being presented for the first time in the old school and next year it will be presented again for the first time in the new school.

The weather was also kind to us.
Thank you to Thomas for presenting the trophies to our winners, to all staff for their support in the organisation of this event and to all parents ,family and friends for joining us today. The winning House Team today was Colliston.
Potted Sports
What a wonderfully energetic and enthusiastic day we had for PE at Dalbeattie Primary!
P7 excelled themselves as confident and capable responsible leaders of our 16 activity stations around the school. Children were all mixed up in house teams of P1-P6, actively learning and extending our skills and fitness through activities like New Age Kurling, Orienteering, keep fit dancing and beat the goalies, to name just a few. Knowledge, skill and fantastic ideas were shared with excellent examples demonstrated. Great fun was had and new friends were made in different classes.
Senior Pupils from Dalbeattie High School joined us and made an essential contribution as team leaders too.
It was one of those feel good days to be glad to be a part of, and proud of all contributing to making such a success!

Well done everybody! I hope you had as much fun as me!
