Respect Me
Primary 7 were working with Mrs Duncan on a Respect Me workshop yesterday. Pupils shared their understanding of what respect looks like and sounds like. They also shared their views of what respect means to them through their ‘respect means’ speech bubbles.
Pond Wildlife
We are delighted to report an update on our pond. The tadpoles from Nursery were put into the pond just before the Easter holidays. Some have been spotted developing legs. We think we may also have seen some very pond snails and water boatmen!
Rota Kids
A new club has started up in Dalbeattie Primary School: Rota Kids Club meets once a month on a Friday afternoon in Dalbeattie Primary School. Rota Kids is a junior, school based, organisation linked with Rotary International and its aim is to fundraise and provide service to the local and international community. Our club has been set up and will be overseen by Mr and Mrs Cathro although the running of the club will be very much under the control of the members themselves. Recently the club members have elected their office bearers: president; vice president; secretary and treasurer.
On Saturday 27th April some of the members helped to give information about the new club at the main Dalbeattie Rotary Coffee Morning. They also challenged some of the members of the public with some games to raise money.
Primary 4 Balancing Birds
As part of their class learning P4 were following instructions to create a balancing bird. Having created their birds, the pupils had fun exploring where the birds might balance.
Soccer Sevens
Our P7 Soccer Sevens team played in the second round of the SFA schools competition at Kilwinning on Thursday 25th of April. They had an enjoyable day playing against teams from different schools and other authorities. The team represented the school very well and showed super sporting behaviour. Unfortunately we didn’t qualify for the finals. Thank you to Amy Bradbury (Active Schools Co-ordinator) for accompanying us to the event.

Easter Church Service 2019
The school has just held its annual Easter Service in Dalbeattie and Kirkgunzeon Parish Church. After a welcome from Mrs Duncan, Primary 7 pupils re-told the Easter story followed by singing from the William Heughan Choir before the service was ended with some words and an Easter blessing from the minister Rev Fiona Wilson.
Nursery, P1 and P1/2 Easter Fun
Yesterday the children from the nursery joined with P1 and P1/2 to do some Easter activities. Pre-schoolers from Birchvale Nursery joined us as well since this was a great opportunity to begin preparation for going to school. We all had a great time. It was lovely to see the different age groups working together and we hope that this is the start of more regular events like this.
P1/2 have baked bread!
P1/2 have been very busy this week. We have had Sara in from RHET to show us how to make bread as part of our previous topic of Scottish food and traditions. We loved having this opportunity of learning to bake the bread, learning about the ingredients and even taking it home to eat. The children enjoyed having the smell of warm freshly baked bread in the classroom. We hope you were able to sample the bread your child brought home.
