Creative Construction

We have done a bit of rearranging in nursery in order to create a larger area for the children to build and allow them the freedom to access different types of building materials by themselves.  This week we have been testing it out.  It isn’t quite finished yet, but we are having a lot of fun.  The large bricks and the tools were the biggest hits!

To continue the construction theme, we read about the Three Little Pigs.  We enjoyed playing with puppets and masks and used them to retell the story.  Some of us created our own stories about how we would trick the wolf if he came to our house!

 

More Code Club Congratulations!

A few of our Code Clubbers were unable to make our final session of Module 1 so the photo below shows them receiving their certificates. They also shared their thoughts of Code Club. I am very proud of all their efforts over the course of Module 1.    Mrs Dyson

Code Club Congratulations!

Congratulations to all Code Clubbers who participated in Module 1. Tonight, we had a celebration session where pupils received certificates and shared their thoughts of this After-School club. Their comments are noted below. I have been very proud of all the pupils’ hard work and enthusiasm. They have learned so much about digital programming and have been great problem solvers. I would also like to thank Mr Muirhead for helping at Code Club each week.    Mrs Dyson

Sea Cadets Annual Trophy Presentation

On Tuesday 15th of November I attended the Dalbeattie Sea Cadets trophy presentation evening. An update on the units progress over the year was given by Mrs Millar. Commanding Officer Lt(SCC) E. McVinnie RNR then provided an update on progress and achievements of the cadets. Badges and certificates were presented to cadets as well as trophies for achievements. Well done to Logan Bond for achieving the award of best Junior Cadet and to Andrew Millar who received the Endeavour Award for having a go and trying everything so far in cadets and never giving up.

World Nursery Rhyme Week

We participated in World Nursery Rhyme Week.  We enjoyed a new rhyme each day and based some of our activities around this.  The rhymes we learned were Baa Baa Black Sheep, Two Little Dickie Birds, Incy Wincy Spider and Hey Diddle Diddle.  There were some funny new verses to sing!

On Wednesday we peeled, cooked and ate the last of the potatoes from our garden.  We had mash and beans for snack.

It was Remembrance Day on Friday.  Some of us went to see the war memorial in the park.

Remembrance Service

Dalbeattie Primary School was represented at the Remembrance Service in church today by five of our house captains accompanied by Mrs Duncan. The children and Mrs Duncan  along with many other local organisations and members of the public then attended a service in Colliston Park to lay  poppy wreaths at the war memorial in memory of those who have served and those who continue to serve in our armed forces around the world today.

P1F – What have we been getting up to?

P1 recently learned about the importance of hand hygiene.  We put ‘pretend’ germs on our hands, washed them and then looked to see how well we had actually washed them by looking in the ultra violet light!  We learned you should wash your hands for 15 seconds and germs are hard to get rid of!!

We also had a visit from Paula Muir from Child Smile who gave us lots of advice about looking after our teeth.  We all brushed our teeth for 2 minutes and enjoyed listening to a story.

At the end of last term we had an open afternoon to share or learning and play lots of phonics games with our parents and grandparents.  We had great fun and would like to thank them all for coming!
