Today at assembly we heard from Meadow and Aiden about the Fairtrade activities that the Eco group are going to be undertaking as part of Fairtrade fortnight. Mrs Howie will be sharing more detail in due course. Well done Meadow and Aiden for being confident individual to stand up and share this information
In Friday Focus today the group spoke with me about our school value of being kind. This continued into assembly where I asked the children to think about what being kind means at Dalbeattie Primary. We certainly do have kind children here at Dalbeattie Primary.
We also spoke about the lost property trolley in assembly and the amount of items on this. I have asked the children to try and be more responsible with their property and try to collect it and keep it safe.
Awards were give out today for a fantastic range of reasons. These included being committed to learning, being confident in PE and working collaboratively, working really hard in maths, building fluency in reading and for being a super role model. Well done to all our award winners.
Have a good weekend everyone.
We were very lucky to have been picked to have a visit from the Sumdog Mascot today at school. Lots of our classes are participating in the local Dumfries and Galloway Sumdog contest. Sumdog and the team wanted to check in how we were all doing and to say well done so far.
The theme for assembly today was about all being unique and individual in our own way. We looked at similarities and differences between a range of buttons that had been collected and then at some things from the natural world that are all unique. The children were reminded that we all have special interests and qualities and that is what makes everyone important in our school The children were reminded about treating everyone fairly and with resect. The motto – Treat others in the way we would like to be treated. was shared to round off the assembly.
The first awards of the term were also given out today. 2 class awards and lots of awards for settling in well and being role models for others. Showing the school values has also been a key focus for teachers as they have identified their award winners today.
Well done everyone.
We held our first assembly of the new session on 23rd of August. It was great to have the whole school together looking smart in their uniforms.
The assembly focused on reviewing our Vision Values and Aims, SHANARRI and expectations of the year ahead. Some very clear messages were shared with the children about their behaviour and expectations around this both in class and int he playground.. We also talked about lost property and children taking responsibility for their own belongings. We really don’t want to be accumulating the amounts that we had last year.
We are looking forward to the year ahead and will share weekly assembly posts.
Throughout the school year, we have kept an ongoing record of trips, activities and learning experiences that the children attending Dalbeattie Primary have received during this academic session. Please clink on link below for further details.
Thank you.
Once the rain stopped on our last day of term, the pupils had great fun moving round a variety of potted sports activities and the chance to use some of our new playground game resources too. Thank you Mrs Gray for organising.

The children had the opportunity today to look round two of the rally cars that will be taking apart in the RSAC Scottish Rally when it comes to Dalbeattie on 20th July. The children got to sit in the cars and imagine what it might be like to drive or be co-driver/navigator. The emergency vehicle used at the rally was also available fort he children to look at. There were certainly lots of questions being asked, horns hooted and sirens tested.
Thank you to Peter Clingan and the RSAC committee for involving the school in this event.
If you are in and around Dalbeattie on 20th of July why not check out the service area at Jas. P. Wilsons
