P7 Transition

Primary 7 pupils have started some transition work with the Home Economics Department at Dalbeattie High school. Pupils have been attending the High School on a Tuesday afternoon in small groups along with peers from our cluster schools. The children have been working with Mrs Houston during these visits to make carrot cake muffins. During the visits, the children are also experiencing what it is like to be in a secondary class/school environment and the expectations of the Home Economics Department. Thank you to Mrs Houston for supporting us with this transition work. We are hoping to visit the department again later on in the school session.

Triathlon Success

Well done to Aaron and Owen Bryson who took part in a Junior Triathlon at Kirkcudbright today. The boys both swan, ran and cycled as part of the event.  The event was organised by the Triathlon Trust. We will certainly be looking to support this event further in the future should it take place locally again. Anyone interested in supporting the school with this please get in touch through the school office.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

We really enjoyed this traditional favourite.  We acted out the story with different props, sang a song about Goldilocks and had lots of fun spooning porridge into different containers.  Some of us copied and completed patterns using Compare Bears and lots of us made masks.  The masks were mostly of bears but some of us decided to be different animals such as monkeys and cats!

Last week in nursery we were very interested in measuring.  We explored the use of metre sticks, rulers, measuring tapes and trundle wheels.  We drew lines, compared heights and cut lengths of wool.  We also used cubes and Cuisenaire Rods and put things in order of size.  This week we are going to read Goldilocks and the Three Bears so we can do some more comparison work.

ibike – Bikeability Training Session 2

Thursday 25th August saw the second group of children undertaking their Bikeability level 1 training with Katie from ibike. The children were very knowledgeable when checking their bikes at the start of session and demonstrated good skill levels and bike handling ability throughout the session.

Well done to all children who participated in both sessions and a huge thank you to Katie from ibike.

Katie from ibike joined us after school today and trained pupils at Bikeability level 1 . Children developed their awareness of cycling positons, bike handling and control, braking and set off skills.  Our second group will participate in this training on Thursday 25th August. We hope to offer Bikeability level 2 training for pupils later on in the school year.
