Today we went to Dalbeattie and Kirkgunzeon Parish Church for our Christmas Service. P7 pupils read poems that shared the Christmas story and the whole school sang a range of carols that they had been learning. Rev Wilson also shared a Christmas message with us. It was wonderful to have family members join us for the service thank you to those that were able to join us today.
Merry Christmas everyone and have a safe and happy holiday.
