Assembly and Head Teacher’s Awards 13.9.24

September 13, 2024 Mrs Duncan Leave a comment

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.

We were very lucky to have been picked to have a visit from the Sumdog Mascot today at school. Lots of our classes are participating in the local Dumfries and Galloway Sumdog contest. Sumdog and the team wanted to check in how we were all doing and to say well done so far.

There will be a pot set out for donations plus some gloves and wipes. Any donations given will go towards the ongoing eco work in school. Thank you in anticipation for supporting this. Well done the Eco Committee on harvesting it all today!

Assembly and Head Teacher’s Awards 30.8.24

August 30, 2024 Mrs Duncan Leave a comment

The theme for assembly today was about all being unique and individual in our own way. We looked at similarities and differences between a range of buttons that had been collected and then at some things from the natural world that are all unique. The children were reminded that we all have special interests and qualities and that is what makes everyone important in our school The children were reminded about treating everyone fairly and with resect. The motto – Treat others in the way we would like to be treated. was shared to round off the assembly.

The first awards of the term were also given out today. 2 class awards and lots of awards for settling in well and being role models for others. Showing the school values has also been a key focus for teachers as they have identified their award winners today.

Well done everyone.

Pupils that attended the Queen.of the South football camps over the summer were presented with their tops for taking part in the camps. It was great to welcome Matty Douglas (Captain) and Benji Luissant to the school today. The children shared high fives with th players and wished them well for their season ahead.
