P3 Baking with Annette

Leave a comment

On Wednesday 26th June, P3 had a lovely visit from local lady Annette Need.  Annette is a baker and she also runs the Colvend Producer’s Market.  We thought this would fit in perfectly with our Food and Farming topic.  She kindly brought in all the ingredients for us to make our own pizzas.

Firstly, we had a chance to taste all of the lovely ingredients – some of which we would not think to put on a pizza.  It was great to see all of the different faces when sampling the food!  We then had to roll our dough and put our tomato sauce base on.  We had the option of three different cheeses before then selecting out toppings.

After making the pizza, we put them in the oven to cook.  Not long after, we were able to safely transport our pizzas back to the classroom before saving them to take home.

Thank you Annette for taking the time to come and do this with us – we thoroughly enjoyed it.  Thanks also to the two high school pupils who helped, Miss Aitchison and also to Mrs Houston for allowing us to use her facilities again.

Primary Three Visit to Galloway Soup Company

Leave a comment

On Monday 24th June, P3 had the opportunity to visit the Galloway Soup Company for our lunch.  It was a special treat, but also linked to our Food and Farming topic.  After braving the monsoon, we arrived and Joanne provided the children with their lunch and also talked to us about the ingredients she used, discussed sustainability and also her links with local businesses.  She really underlined the importance of keeping things local!

We also had a little quiz using some pictures, to find out where the products came from – local honey, milk and strawberries to name a few.

We were sent on our way after having a lovely baby hot chocolate (with marshmallows and cream!), and also an ice cream from Glen Urr.  Thank you Joanne for a thoroughly enjoyable lunch.  The children and I will be back!

Well done to our P7 team who reach the final of the Paul Jones A league. Unfortunately, we didn’t win but were runners up to Kirkcudbright A team. Thank you to all parents and family members who supported us on the day. Thanks also to Amy and the Active Schools team for organising such a fantastic event.

Potted Sports

Leave a comment

Today, the whole primary school has enjoyed a fantastic day of potted sports in glorious sunny weather. The children have been in mixed age house teams as they moved round stations, which were led by the P7 young leaders and included a variety of activities such as the sack race, parachute games, fitness dancing, golf, underarm throwing, orienteering, space hoppers, hurdles, hockey, curling, football, relays, skipping and rugby passing team games. Our thanks go to Mrs Gray, yet again, for organising such a successful event. Our thanks also go to Ross Herrick and the High School Sports leaders, who have all helped too. At the time of writing, it is not yet known who will win the house shield. Last year it was awarded to Dalmun.

Primary 4-7 Sports Day June 2019

Leave a comment

A great day was had by all at Primary 4-7 school sports day. This year, we have trialled a different way of organising it. The event lasted over a longer period of time, beginning after morning break and finishing in the afternoon. This allowed more opportunities for some extra races.
The House Shield was won by Craignair with 300 points in 1st place. In 2nd place was Dalmun with 277, 3rd was Colliston with 275 points and in 4th place was Screel with 227 points. The Girls Champion was Jennifer Taylor with joint runners up Jessica Bowden and Sophie McRobert. The Girls 300m winner was also Jennifer Taylor with runner up Amberly Wallace. The Boys Champion was Thomas Brown and Harrison Graham was runner up. The 300m cup was won by Thomas Brown and the runner up was Jamie Laurie.
The school is very grateful to Mr Drennan and this super team of sport leaders from Dalbeattie High School. Their support helped make the day go very smoothly. We are also delighted with our new podium and our thanks go to Mr Nish for making this. Also thank you to past pupil Ross Herrick who returned to help judge races. And thank you to all our spectators who came along to watch the events and to all staff who worked so hard to practice the races for today. Thanks also go to Miss Dalton who presented all the cups. Thank you all!
