On Thursday 30th March P7 took part in three different workshops run by Seafood in Schools at Dalbeattie High School.
The children were given opportunities to taste different seafoods, to watch a cooking demonstration and to find out more about where our seafood comes from and how it is caught.
The children had a great day and many were surprised by how much they liked some of the seafoods they had never tasted before.
Thank you to Mrs Houston for organising this experience!
On Friday the 24th of March we went to the Glasgow Science Centre as part of our topic. We had a great time learning about space, the stars and exploration. We also had a chance to visit the science stalls and carry out some experiments to do with energy, robots and the human body. Thank you to Mrs Aitchison, Mrs Armstrong and Mrs Bryson for helping us, and also thanks to Mr Maxwell for coming back and joining us too!
Have a look at some of our photographs!
Thank you so much to the parents and family members who attended our Stay and Play sessions last week. It was lovely to welcome so people and the children were so excited to share their learning with you.
Apollo 13 finally arrived back safely as P6 and 7 pupils enjoyed a slumber party movie night yesterday. Thank you to all those who donated to the school fund. We hope to have more movie nights soon!
Spring was certainly in the air today as a group of 12 P6 and P7 pupils visited Alma House in Dalbeattie. The children visited residents and took part in some Spring and Easter Craft activities with them. Easter Bonnets, cards, and decorated boxes were just some of the items that they created together. The children were fantastic ambassadors for the school and were very engaged in dialogue with residents during the visit. A great example of intergenerational working.
The children enjoyed their non uniform day on Friday 24th March when they came to school wearing bright clothes. Many children also had their red noses to wear. Children were told they could bring in a voluntary donation, which many did. We raised £215.44 which is tremendous amount. Nursery had a separate fundraiser.
Great enthusiasm and a responsible attitude were shown by pupils in Primary 5D who performed to visitors at Dalbeattie Day Centre. The class have been working with musicians from Feis Rois to learn a variety of Scots songs. They have also learned to play rhythms on the taiko drums to accompany the song “Hey Donal”. Pupils performed a selection of their favourite songs as well as sharing their drumming skills. Mrs Dyson was delighted by the great attitude shown by all pupils when performing and in their conversations with the visitors afterwards. We would like to say thank you to the visitors of Dalbeattie Day Centre for being a wonderful audience, to the staff for the juice and biscuits afterwards, to the adults who accompanied us on the walk and also to Kate and Peter from Feis Rois who have worked so enthusiastically with us!
On Saturday 25th of March, 7 pupils from P6 and P7 went along to Islecroft to watch the local football team Dalbeattie Start playing in a match against Edinburgh University. At half time, the boys were invited onto the pitch and had a penalty shoot out against each other. This was a great experience for the boys being on the full size pitch and trying to save penalties in the full sizes goal. Thank you to Dalbeattie Starr FC for inviting us to be part of the day and we look forward to joining future games and supporting the team.
Have a look at some of our superb art work from this term.
Our earth wall display – showing the location of volcanoes around the world.
We created these super twister pictures focusing on our tone, blending and shading skills.
We also created these “Great Wave” inspired Tsunami pictures.
We also developed our skills creating repeated patterns by creating these super Zentangle landscape pictures.
On Monday 20th March Primary 7 attended a Spanish Day at Dalbeattie High School as part of their transition programme. The day gave the children the opportunity to be introduced to Spanish and take part in lots of fun activities.
These activities included Zumba, Tapas making, learning the language of the fan and a treasure hunt around the school learning the names of the subjects in Spanish.
The children had an absolutely fantastic day and were really motivated and engaged in all of the activities.
A huge thank you to all of the High School staff involved in planning and organising this event. It was a superb day!
