We were very lucky with the weather for our sports day. The children really enjoyed themselves and it was great to see such an excellent turn out of family and friends to support them.
P4/5 Heart Stone Walk
A fantastic 6 mile walk through Dalbeattie Forest to the Heart Stone and the Loch. Perfect weather! Well done P4 and P4/5!
P5D create Lego Robots!
Primary 5D pupils participated in an amazing ComputerXplorers Workshop and astounded everyone with their engineering skills. They used the latest Lego Robotics Technology to build and program amazing creatures that moved using motors, gears and wheels. Pupils learned how to program sensors to make robots respond to their surroundings. They worked collaboratively to make Lego lions roar and then lie down when thrown a bone. They used skills of coding and programming to make crocodiles snap, sailboats rock, footballers dive randomly for the ball, kicking legs , plane engines rev and a sleeping giant wake up when approached. Mrs Dyson, Mrs Connel, Mrs Cox and Mrs Ross were blown away by the teamwork and computer skills demonstrated by every single participant. Fantastic work Primary Five!
Country Dancers at Civic Daze
Some of our festival winning country dancers performed a selection of dances today at a Civic Daze event in Colliston Park. This was a first public performance for some and they danced beautifully. Well done everyone and thank you to Mrs Fortnum and Mrs McMinn for supporting the dancers today.
Primary 5 French Breakfast
Primary 5 pupils enjoyed practising their French conversation during our French Breakfast. They ordered breakfast items for each other and enjoyed tasting a selection of traditional breakfast items. Mrs Dyson and Primary 5 pupils would like to say a special thank you to Mrs Kinghorn for organising the event. Merci Madame Kinghorn! As this was Mrs Kinghorn’s final session in our class, we surprised her with a special thank you card.
Primary 4/5 French Breakfast
Primary 4/5 had a wonderful French breakfast with Mrs Kinghorn this morning. They enjoyed chocolate croissants, brioche bread, baguettes and juice. The children had to order their food using the French language they learnt in their lessons. It was a lovely last morning with Mrs Kinghorn.
