Celebrating Home Learning

Once again this week I have enjoyed looking through all photographs in the the home learning folders that teachers have been sharing with me. I have picked out a few pieces of work to share with everyone this week. Some great stories, home baking science, food art and outdoor art this week.

Well done everyone with the continued effort you are putting into your home learning.

Take care all and stay safe.

Exercise and Fitness Challenge

Well done to everyone who took part in the kindness challenge last week. Thank you to those of you who shared pictures with us for the blog.

This week I would like to see and hear all about the different fitness activities you have been doing during your time away from school. I know some people have been learning to ride their bikes, some people have climbed up Dalmun hill for the first time with their families and Jo Wicks workouts were  popular at the beginning of lockdown. Who is still doing their daily work our ? Maybe you have been following Mrs Gray’s P.E videos. Shared what you have been doing with your class teachers and we can celebrate on the blog.

Our nana’s original picture had faded so she asked if we could make another.
One of our nana’s elderly neighbours wrote us a thank you letter and the other left us some chocolate bunnies.
It made us feel happy and warm inside and meant we could see our great nanas through their windows, or they came to their doorstep to wave. Jasmine P5

This week Rose took up Mrs Duncan’s challenge to be a bucket filler. Rose has been playing with her little sister and helping her get dressed. Rose went with her Dad delivering meals for a children’s charity (see pic above) she had to stay in the car but was helping to find the house numbers. Well done Rose.

Emily made this lovely gift for her mum because she thinks she is the best.

Blair made a cake, made cups of tea for mum while she was working. He also made an inspirational quote poster and made acrostic poems of family members names. He made thank you posters for the people emptying our bin and to the Roan’s Dairy drivers. He has also organised a facetime group chat with family members. He has also helped with the dishes.

Jake made coconut brownies for his family and dropped some off at his granny’s door.
Isla’s  good deeds this week were making brownies for her Granny and she wrote a poem for her other Granny and read it to her on face time. Isla also made a card for one of her friend’s birthdays. She normally helps to  tidy up at dinner but she did it all one night!.
Rex created a butterfly and decorated a pot for his granny. He is missing her during these times of lockdown.

Kindness Challenge

Boys and Girl, you will remember we read the book below in assembly a while back and it helped us to understand how things we do and say can affects other peoples feeling and emotions. Our words and actions can affect a persons mental health and wellbeing. Remember it is important to be a bucket filler and not a bucket dipper.

This week is National Mental Health Week and the theme for this is Kindness. I know we have lots of kind boys and girls at Dalbeattie Primary and I would like you to share with your class teacher, Mrs Howie or Mrs Duncan an act of Kindness that you have shown this week.

I have attached some  ideas that might help you to complete this challenge. Please send photos to you class teacher, Mrs Howie or Mrs Duncan. We will share some of these acts of kindness on the blog in future weeks.
