Assembly and HT Awards 20.9.24

Leave a comment

Another busy assembly this week with a wide range  of badges and certificates handed out to celebrate lots of success throughout school this week.

The value of committed was our focus this week. All the classes shared what committed means to them. We had confident individuals come out to the front and share these thoughts with the whole school.

Being committed also featured in lots  of our awards today. We had committed learners in numeracy , literacy and PE. Being sensible and  reliable in class was another reason for an award today as well as for being a responsible citizen and well mannered communicator.

P7 pupils who participated in their bike ability level 1 training  at the start of the week were presented with their certificates and badges. They all achieved the outcomes of level 1 training and are ready for their level 2 training after the October break.

Eco Councillors, Pupil Councillors, House and Sports Captains were also announced today at assembly. Unfortunately some of the pupils were not with us today to get their badges or photos taken so will make sure we get further photos once everyone in each group is back with us. Well done to all our school and class representatives.

Fairtrade Crispies

Leave a comment

The ingredients are in! Just a reminder…. Tomorrow  (Friday) is the day for children to bring 50p each for a Fairtrade crispie cake. The eco councillors will collect in the money and work out how many we need to make on Monday.  All profits will go to the Fairtrade Foundation.  This work helps us to retain out ‘FairAchiever School’ status. We are grateful to  Dalbeattie Spar and Castle Douglas Tesco who, so far,  have donated ingredients.  The crispies should be made and given out at snack time on Monday. Thank you for supporting this activity!

Scooter Skills and Outdoor Learning Staff Training

Leave a comment

Staff undertook training in scooter skills and outdoor learning yesterday with Briony from ibike. Staff took part in practical activities in both areas( no injuries from the scooters thank goodness). There was lots of discussion how games and activities could be changed depending on class, level, topic and interest levels. It was great to be out in the sunshine completing this training. It was Staff were certainly motivated to  develop some of the ideas with their classes. I can see some outdoor story creation happening and being outside using different areas of the school grounds. Ms Scott has also got P4/5 all prepared with helmets for scooters skills this afternoon.

Bikeability Level 1

Leave a comment

What a fantastic day to be out with some of our P7s undertaking their bikeability level 1 training today. All the children were amazing. They carried out bike and helmet checks. They followed instructions with care and demonstrated a good awareness of cycle control, gliding,stopping,starting and turning. The slow race was a great challenge and they all gave this a great go. Looking forward to progressing to level 2 training next term.

Fairtrade Activities

Today, we found out about how we could take part in activities to mark Fairtrade Fortnight.  Aidan and Meadow talked us through a powerpoint about two activities,  at assembly, this afternoon.

The first activity is the chance to bring in a donation (for the Fairtrade Foundation) in return for a chocolate crispie/Malteser cake  They will cost 50p each.  Money is to be brought in on Friday 20th September, The crispie cakes will be made and given out on Monday 23rd September. The Eco Group showed us some of the donations they already have for making  the chocolate treats. Thank you Dalbeattie Spar and Castle Douglas Tesco who have so far given us donations.

The second activity is about an optional Community  Fairtrade Quiz with prizes to be won.  Thank you Dalbeattie Spar, Londis, Co-op and Castle Douglas Tesco for agreeing to this. The pupils  should have brought a sheet home tonight- it is all explained on there. If anyone wants to take part over the weekend but has not yet brought home the actual sheet, attached are the front and reverse of the quiz sheet. Once the sheet comes home, you can fill it in properly.  There will be until Friday 29th September to send them back into school.  Thank you for your support. All these activities help us to retain our FairAchiever School Status.

Today at assembly we heard from Meadow and Aiden about the Fairtrade activities that the Eco group are going to be undertaking as part of Fairtrade fortnight. Mrs Howie will be sharing more detail in due course. Well done Meadow and Aiden for being confident individual to stand up and share this information

In Friday Focus today the group spoke with me about our school value of being kind. This continued into assembly where I asked the children to think about what being kind means at Dalbeattie Primary. We certainly do have kind children here at Dalbeattie Primary.

We also spoke about the lost property trolley in assembly and the amount of items on this. I have asked the children to try and be more responsible with their property and try to collect it and keep it safe.

Awards were give out today for a fantastic range of reasons. These included being committed to learning, being confident in PE and working collaboratively, working really hard in maths, building fluency in reading and for being a super role model. Well done to all our award winners.

Have a good weekend everyone.
