Many thanks to all those who organised and helped run our anniversary afternoon tea in the school today. The event was a great success and was very well supported. Thanks to all those who attended we hope you enjoyed your afternoon.

Six P7 pupils worked alongside pupils from Dalbeattie High School to make the scones, cakes and tray bakes for our Anniversary Afternoon Tea. The children worked collaboratively under the guidance and supervision of Mrs Houston from Dalbeattie High School. Thanks you to Mrs Houston and the class from Dalbeattie High School for the support with this event.
Thank you to Mrs Henderson our school catering manager for making anniversary cup cakes for children having school meals on our 140th Anniversary yesterday. The cakes all had special edible school badges on them.

Today we held a special Anniversary Parade to celebrate the 140th Anniversary of Dalbeattie Primary School. Pupils and staff were all presented with special anniversary badges as part of our 140 year celebrations.Thanks to Sam Kelly for filming this special event for us. We are now looking forward to our Victorian Afternoon Tea on Saturday.
Our topic in Primary 7 this term is ‘Choices for Life’. Throughout this topic we are learning about how to make safe and sensible choices in life as we grow up and move on to high school.
This week we experienced our first of four sessions of PARTY from Youth Alive (Providing Alcohol Related Training for Young people). These sessions are designed to help us to develop our understanding and awareness of how to stay safe when faced with the decision of drinking alcohol.
This week we learned about units of alcohol. We learned how many units are recommended on a weekly basis for an adult and learned about ‘love your liver’ days. We each had to guess what one unit of vodka looked like in a glass before Ali showed us an exact measurement!! Many of us were VERY far off with our guesses!!
At the end of the session we each were given a mocktail to try. This weeks mocktail consisted of lemonade, orange juice and grenadine sugar syrup! Yum!!!
We are really looking forward to next weeks session already!
On Tuesday 3rd of May Mrs Duncan attended the Dalbeattie Sea Cadet Inspection Night and Parade. The Cadets and Guard were inspected by Inspecting Officer : Captain Peter Adams RN. Captain Adams said that the cadets all looked very smart and he was impressed with their drill movements. The senior cadets shared a PowerPoint called “A Blast from the Past” about the history of the Dalbeattie Sea Cadet Unit. After Stand Easy (refreshments) the junior and senior cadets then carried out a First Aid demonstration with equipment purchased from funds donated by Dalbeattie Rotary Club. At the end of the evening the cadets ended the night with evening colours and a presentation of trophies to achieving cadets.

This term P5, P5/6 and P6F have been really fortunate to have the opportunity to train with Queen of the South Football under 21 club members. As well as playing matches we have also received talks about nutrition and good sportsmanship.
As you can see we had several cheerleading squads and a great save!
Primary 4 worked in groups to research information about Titanic Crew members as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd class passengers. They created posters and each group gave a presentation to the rest of the class to share their learning. They all learnt lots from each other! Well done.
Primary 4 were given the challenge of creating a HUGE Titanic wall frieze. They worked in groups on different sections of the boat and background then stuck it all together on the wall themselves! Didn’t they do well?!
