We started learning a couple of our  hymns of our Easter Church service in a few weeks. The class teachers will ask be learning these with children in classes too. I will post these to share soon.

WOW Badges

Some classes participated in the design a new strip for Queen of the South over the last couple of weeks. We are delighted to announce that we have two finalists. Well done to Finlay and Emmi on achieving the finals. Everyone will be able to vote for winning designs next week when all finalists are announced. We will keep you posted on how to do this.

Head Teacher’s Awards were given out for a range of reasons today but I did ask for awards this week  to also recognise our values and saw many children celebrated  for being ‘committed’ today. Pupils have demonstrated being committed in P.E, to their learning in class and  being positive role models.  Well done everyone on all you achievements this week.

P6 Cricket

P6 had their first cricket session with Pat from Galloway Cricket club today. The children started learning bowling and fielding skills. They worked with a partner and then in teams for their final game. It was great to be with the children today and see their enthusiasm for new learning. Miss McCulloch student teacher  from Dalbeattie High School and Galloway Cricket Club also joined us. What a great role model for our pupils .

They can be used in Dalbeattie Book Shop who will have a range of the free £1 books for which one token can be exchanged per book.  Alternatively, tokens can be kept to be redeemed against purchases at the Book fair which will be in school, later in March.

Bikeability Level 2

P7s who participated in their Bikeability level 2 training were presented with their badges and certificates today at assembly. The children braved all weather conditions from December through to January to complete their training. The children develop skills in cycling on the roads, developing awareness of other road users, signally and negotiating both right and left turn at junctions from major to minor and minor  to major roads. It was great to see how everyones confidence grew over time.  Stay safe all when out on your bikes and apply the skills and knowledge you have learned through your training. Well done.
