Assembly report by Evie McGougan and Mrs Duncan
Today in assembly Mrs Duncan spoke to the children about the four capacities from Curriculum for Excellence. These are part of our vision values and aims and what we want all children to aspire to and achieve at Dalbeattie Primary School.
The children have been working very hard this week in a range of curricular areas. We have also seen that some of the children have demonstrated the school values this week and received awards for this . Other reasons for awards included great decoding skills, making sure the presentation of work is high quality, being a positive role model and high quality narrative writing. Mrs Gray also gave awards for great work in P.E this included care and control with a football, and showing brilliant determination in golf.
Well done to all our achievers this week.
