Three great sponsored walks today. The sun shone and everyone had a great time. Some pupils chose to run rather than walk round the track and managed to fit in a few extra laps. Once we have a total amount raised we will let you know next week.
Below are a selection of pictures from our day.
Here are a couple of videos sent into class teachers from pupils who held their own sports days at home. Some of our pupils also featured on the Active Schools Facebook page. Well done all.
Lots of deserving pupils were again awarded their certificates and prizes for their hard work, effort and positive attitude to their learning. Our photos show several successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
Also pictured are all our young people who took part in the recent schools gymnastics competition.
Well done to all pupils who took part in the Junior Hardrock Challenge 5.10.19.

Well done to our P7 team who reach the final of the Paul Jones A league. Unfortunately, we didn’t win but were runners up to Kirkcudbright A team. Thank you to all parents and family members who supported us on the day. Thanks also to Amy and the Active Schools team for organising such a fantastic event.
Today, the whole primary school has enjoyed a fantastic day of potted sports in glorious sunny weather. The children have been in mixed age house teams as they moved round stations, which were led by the P7 young leaders and included a variety of activities such as the sack race, parachute games, fitness dancing, golf, underarm throwing, orienteering, space hoppers, hurdles, hockey, curling, football, relays, skipping and rugby passing team games. Our thanks go to Mrs Gray, yet again, for organising such a successful event. Our thanks also go to Ross Herrick and the High School Sports leaders, who have all helped too. At the time of writing, it is not yet known who will win the house shield. Last year it was awarded to Dalmun.
A great day was had by all at Primary 4-7 school sports day. This year, we have trialled a different way of organising it. The event lasted over a longer period of time, beginning after morning break and finishing in the afternoon. This allowed more opportunities for some extra races.
The House Shield was won by Craignair with 300 points in 1st place. In 2nd place was Dalmun with 277, 3rd was Colliston with 275 points and in 4th place was Screel with 227 points. The Girls Champion was Jennifer Taylor with joint runners up Jessica Bowden and Sophie McRobert. The Girls 300m winner was also Jennifer Taylor with runner up Amberly Wallace. The Boys Champion was Thomas Brown and Harrison Graham was runner up. The 300m cup was won by Thomas Brown and the runner up was Jamie Laurie.
The school is very grateful to Mr Drennan and this super team of sport leaders from Dalbeattie High School. Their support helped make the day go very smoothly. We are also delighted with our new podium and our thanks go to Mr Nish for making this. Also thank you to past pupil Ross Herrick who returned to help judge races. And thank you to all our spectators who came along to watch the events and to all staff who worked so hard to practice the races for today. Thanks also go to Miss Dalton who presented all the cups. Thank you all!
Well done to our netball teams who participated in the Stewartry netball league organised by Active Schools this term. Mrs Anderson was delighted with how all the team played and participated in the tournament. Our ‘light blue ‘ team were the overall winner this year so a huge congratulations to them.
Thanks to Mrs Anderson, Mrs Cox and Mrs Blackwood for giving up their time to coach the teams and support them each Monday during the league season.
