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.

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!!
P7 Seafood in Schools Day
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!
Stay and Play Sessions
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.
Crafting at Alma House
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.
P5D Singing at Dalbeattie Day Centre
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!
