Christmas 2016 Hall Decorations
Well that was our last Christmas in this school…. We thought you might like to see our hall decorations (photographed kindly by Mrs Blackwood.) They were fantastic this year and we are very grateful to the staff and pupils who put so much effort into making our hall look so special for its last Christmas as a Primary School. We haven’t decided yet about what we will do with all the beautiful nativity pictures so watch this space….
Christmas Service
Dalbeattie Primary School attended Church today for their end of term Christmas Service. The theme of the service was crackers. Each cracker contained an item that symbolised an aspect of the Christmas Story. Throughout the service there were readings and poems shared by P7 pupils. All children were a credit to themselves and the school. The church was filled with their wonderful singing. Thank you to Dalbeattie and Kirgunzeon Parish Church following allowing us to hold our service in church today and thank you to parents, family and friends who were able to join us for the service.

Children In Need and Malawi Fundraising
On Friday 18th November, we had a non uniform day to raise money for Children In Need and for the Janice Jamieson Memorial Fund to sponsor our young person in Malawi. Throughout the week, the School Pupil Council also ran a competition to turn Pudsey all spotty in ‘Spottiland’ for a ‘spotacular’ fundraiser with Children In Need prizes for five lucky winners. Altogether an amazing £410 was raised and the money will be split between the two charities. Thank you to everyone who supported this.
Dalbeattie Museum Donates £250 to Dalbeattie Primary School
We are delighted to receive a donation of £250 from Dalbeattie Museum on the occasion of Tommy Henderson’s 80th Birthday which also marked the end of this year’s season as the Museum closed its doors for the winter. Dalbeattie Museum has gifted the Primary School with this money as many of the Museum’s members worked on the ‘History of Dalbeattie Primary School’ book which was published earlier this year and they wanted to thank the school for the opportunity for school and Museum to work together on this successful project. Thank you!
