P1 recently enjoyed a great trip to Dino Park at the end of their work on Dinosaurs. They had a super day carrying out various activities and visited the shop of course!!
History Prize
Please see information about a new history prize being awarded this year at our end of term assembly.
Open Day May 20th
Remember Saturday May 20th is fast approaching… Between 10am and 3pm on this date it will be our Open Day. To mark the final months in our current building we are hosting this event to mark and recognise the history of Dalbeattie Primary school on its current site.
On Saturday 20th May, there will be one final doors open day which will take place in both the upper and lower school buildings. Visitors are welcome to visit Dalbeattie Primary School to reminisce, share memories and view the school as it is today. Doors will open at 10a.m and close at 3p.m . At 12 mid-day, we would like as many people as possible who have been pupils and staff at Dalbeattie Primary School (or indeed, the High School pre 1958) to join us in front of the bell tower for a large group photograph to mark the event. It may even get us into the Record books for the most former pupils and staff in a picture SO KEEP THE DATE! The photo will be taken from the air by a licensed drone. Please note, however, all friends, members of the school and wider local community are welcome to visit the buildings at any point during the day. We are very happy to announce that Dalbeattie Lions Club is providing eco friendly balloons to be released on the day too, as part of the mid-day photo. These balloons which have been sourced from a company which avoids any issues for the environment, have a competition tag attached for the balloon which travels the furthest
Walk to School Week
Please find below a copy of a letter from local authority about Walk to School Week. We would like to see as many pupils as possible participating in active travel during this week.
Dinosaurs
The afternoon children have been exploring their interest in dinosaurs. We have learned about some dinosaur behaviours and made different types of dinosaur pictures. We love stories about dinosaurs and have also made fossils out of clay.
Transport
The morning children have been very interested in transport recently so many of our activities have had a transport theme. We have painted different types of vehicle, compared old and new cars, explored floating and sinking and practised crossing the road, to name but a few things.
Rotary Quiz
Well done to our P7 Rotary Quiz team who came third in the regional qualifying event held today at Troqueer Primary School. The team were the winners of our cluster heat and went on to represent the school in the regional event. It was a very close run contest and the team were just piped by half a mark. The team were fantastic representatives for the school and all those involved in supporting them are very proud of their achievements.
Generation Science
Primary 3 had a visit from the Generation Science Team today. They were exploring magnets. This complimented and reinforced the work the class had been undertaking last term with Mrs Dunlop.
P7 Volcano Science Experiments
Primary 7 have had great fun this week finishing off their topic “Extreme Earth” from Term 3 by finally getting to use the science experiments that they tried and tested last term to make their Volcano models erupt.
Below are some pictures of the children making their models before the holidays and finally erupting them this week!!
