Penalty Shoot Out

Leave a comment

On Saturday 25th of March, 7 pupils from P6 and P7 went along to Islecroft to  watch the local football team Dalbeattie Start playing in a match against Edinburgh University. At half time, the boys were invited onto the pitch  and had a penalty shoot out against each other. This was a great experience for the boys being on the full size pitch and trying to save penalties in the full sizes goal. Thank you to Dalbeattie Starr FC for inviting us to be part of the day and we look forward to joining future games and supporting the team.

Well done to all gymnasts who took part in the Regional Schools Gymnastics Competition on Saturday 28th of January at the David Keswick Centre. All gymnasts performed a floor routine and carried out two competition vaults. Although no prizes this time, it was a great experience for the pupils and everyone had a fantastic day. It  was a pleasure to accompany the teams to the event. Thank you to all parents, family members and friends who transported the children to the event and stayed to watch the competition. Thanks also go to Miss Niven (Active Schools Co-ordinator), Kerry Aitchison and Abigail Simpson(Secondary Pupils and volunteers from Dalbeattie High school) for helping with the coaching and support on the day of the competition.

Leave a comment

Today it was the turn of our P7 football team to take part in the SSFA Soccer Sevens regional qualifier. The team played against 5 other schools during the tournament and represented the school extremely well. The team showed determination throughout each game and displayed very sporting behaviour at the end of each match. Mr Cathro and myself were both very proud of the team performance. The team finished fourth overall in their league. Well done boys.

Well done to our Primary 6 football team who took part in the SSFA regional round of the soccer sevens tournament at Palmerston Arena on 22nd of November. The team played very well together on the day and were great representatives for Dalbeattie Primary. They displayed positive attitudes on the pitch and were very sporting at all times.  Out of 8 teams they came fifth. Both Mr Cathro and myself are very proud of the boys and their team achievement. Well done.

Good luck to our P7 team as they prepare to play in their tournament on Tuesday 29th of November.
