Beach Clean at Rockcliffe Success

 

Thank you all who turned up to take part in our voluntary beach clean at Rockcliffe today.  The event was organised by the Rotakids Club in partnership with the Eco Group.  Thank you Dalbeattie Community Initiative for helping supply the equipment and to Mr and Mrs Cathro, our Rotakids coordinators. It was lovely to see so many of our pupils and their families come along in addition to Mrs Duncan and Mrs Stores, HT of Colvend and Kirkgunzeon. We now have quite a large box of varied plastic waste which will form the inspirations for some creative work for our ‘Future Museum’ later this term.

Beach Clean this Sunday 21st April

 

This is a little reminder about the voluntary beach clean this Sunday 21st April 1pm-3pm at Rockcliffe. The event is organised by the Rotakids in partnership with the Eco Group. Thank you Dalbeattie Community Initiative for letting us borrow extra litter picking equipment. Any pupils attending should be accompanied by an adult. It is recommended that people park in the top car park and walk down to the beach because parking can be limited in the bay. No one needs to stay the entire event time. Folks can pop along for a short visit only and help us find some plastic. This will not only help the environment but will also help us in The Eco Group’s Future Museum idea, to be held later in the term,  which we will tell you more about later.

Assembly and Headteacher’s awards

Assembly report by Evie McGougan and Mrs Duncan

Today in assembly Mrs Duncan spoke to the children about the four capacities from Curriculum for Excellence. These are part of our vision values and aims and what we want all children to aspire to and achieve at Dalbeattie Primary School.

The children have been working very hard this week in a range of curricular areas. We have also seen that some of the children have demonstrated the school values this week and received awards for this . Other reasons for awards included great decoding skills, making sure  the presentation of work is high quality,  being a positive role model and high quality narrative writing. Mrs Gray also gave awards for great work in P.E this included care and control with a football, and showing brilliant  determination in golf.

Well done to all our achievers this week.

Some of the children from nursery also joined us for assembly today. This is part of their transition work getting ready for coming into P1.

Beach Clean Sunday 21st April at Rockcliffe

Last week the Eco Committee gave a super presentation about their recent litter survey in the playground. They also highlighted an event this coming Sunday 21st April: Rotakids, in partnership with the school Eco group,  are organising a beach clean at Rockcliffe between 1pm and 3pm. Please do come along. No  one needs to stay for the entire two hours. Just pop along for however long you can stay, with an adult accompanying you, and help pick up some plastic. It is planned to bring the plastic finds back into school as a stimulus for some creative writing, later, for our Future Museum. This is an idea the Eco Committee had some time ago. Well done to those people  who undertook this activity in their own time. The plan is now to create some more exhibits for our ‘Future Museum’  with some collaborative writing in groups back in school using the bits of plastic we find on Sunday. More information on this is to follow later. Thank you Rotakids and Mr and Mrs Cathro for organising the event on Sunday. Thank you Dalbeattie Community Initiative for lending us extra litter pickers. Activities like this also help the Eco group to carry out their work and to complete activities towards their next 9th green flag application. It is recommended that people use the top car park at Rockcliffe and walk down to the beach where we will have equipment ready.

Friday Focus

Today we had our first Friday Focus meeting. This is something new we are implementing to provide all children the opportunity to talk about their learning and have a say in some of the school developments and to make their suggestions about school.

We had some light refreshments during our discussions which went down well.

Some confident individuals today who shared their thoughts on what is going well in Fun 31 and what they would like to change. Well done everyone.
