Busy assembly again today. We sang through one of our songs the church at the end of term.
Following on from World Book Day yesterday, pupils from Mrs Lumsden’s book club shared information about reading. They shared favourite books, where they like to read and the rights to read. This was the first time that they had presented at assembly and they did very well as it can be quite daunting talking in front of the whole school.📚📚
Awards were given out this week for effort with writing and improved presentation, creating stories at home and sharing with the class, being an IT whizz using publisher and using IT to support writing. Some pupils were also recognised for their commitment to learning and showing resilience when things can be challenging. Mrs Gray identified pupils for showing co-ordination and control when hitting a shuttle in badminton and for showing focus and control with a beanbag and bat. Well done to all our award winner this week.

World Book Day 7th March 2024
Well, World Book Day has been and gone for another year but what a fantastic day everyone has had here at Dalbeattie Primary and Nursery. Lots of the P1 and P1/2 children were so excited to share their books with me when they arrived in the playground this morning. It was a joy to see their enthusiasm for books.
Through out the day there has been lots of opportunities for sharing learning and collaborating across the school. We have had sharing of favourite book in all the classes, P6 reading to pupils in nursery, World Book Day Bingo, World Book Day Grammar, reading is some fun places around the classroom. There were book tile charades happening in Mr Caldow’s room and making fancy book marks with Mrs Mclean. There were some very creative design that suited books and children interests. Classes have also designed book covers and written blurbs for a range of fun titles that I shared with them for the day. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished designs and will share in due course.
Some classes also enjoyed a sneaky hot chocolate as they read their books.
Thank you to all the staff for the time put into creating these great activities for our learners.
