We held out second session of level 2 bikeability yesterday. All the children were able to demonstrate skills from last week and worked on news skills today. Both groups coped very well with traffic in the area we were working and took onboard advice from volunteers and sports leaders. Well done everyone.
Our house group winners last term were Dalmun and they had their reward time today. House points have started to be collected again this term and we announce weekly winners at assembly.
Thank you to all the house captains for helping to co-ordinate today for the Dalmun pupils.
First assembly of the new term and we spoke about the values we had worked on together last year and what these means for the school. Posters have been displayed around the school and in all classes to reinforce these.
The children were also asked to look closely at the people around them and value them and get to know people’s skills and qualities. Optical illusions were used as the stimulus for this to make the children realise that not everyone may be as they seem from the outside and looking closely at the whole person both inside and out will help them to get to know them better.
Awards were given out today for a variety of reasons. Being committed to learning showing focus and skill, taking ownership of learning, taking on a leadership role when creating class videos, for excellent sportsmanship, creating outstanding art work and showing a renewed focus at the start of a new term were just some of the reason for awards today. Well done to all our award winners.
We also announced the total funds raised from our sponsored walk. we raised £2361. this will be used by classes to purchase outdoor learning resources or Fun 31 resources.
A great night at the transition Halloween disco organised by the social and charities committee from Dalbeattie High School for P7, S1 and S2. Lots of fun games,great music, dancing and prizes for best costume. Mr Kennedy’s photo booth also went down a treat. Thank you to everyone that organised and supported this evening.
Great first after school gymnastics session yesterday with P4. Gymnastic shapes,floor skills and vault were all part of the session today. Great to have Amy Niven from Active Schools back with us for gymnastics.
Today was the first day of our level 2 training. Well done to all our P7 participants. Thank you to the sports leaders from DHS and to our volunteers Brian and Sarah. It was great to have Peri the local authority bike ability co-ordinator joining us for the first of our sessions this morning.
Today in assembly we reflected on our value – Responsible. The Friday focus group shared their ideas and then representatives from each class shared what responsible means to them.
We also thought about harvest and things we have to be thankful for. Thank you to everyone that provided donations for the community pantry. These will be handed in during the holidays.
Awards were also given out for a variety of reasons some of these included being a good captain in the rugby festival, always listening well during teaching time, showing commitment to learning, being determined to succeed at maths and always being kind to others.
Our house captains came out to the front at assembly today to present the awards which was fantastic. they were all confident individuals. Well done Keira-Lee, Jack, Amalie, Korey and Mollie.
We had two fantastic sponsored walks today. The first walk this morning was P4-P7 classes round the town woods. Our second walk was for P1-P3 this afternoon round Rounall woods. The weather was in our favour this year which was great and the chatter and buzz as we went round both woods was amazing. Thank you to all family members that were able to join us for the walks, it was great to have you with us. We are so lucky to have such beautiful woods to use in our local community. Well done to all the classes.
