P5D Ukulele

Leave a comment

Primary 5D pupils showed their appreciation to Mr and Mrs Butterworth for all the time, support and encouragement they have given us. We personalised a ukulele, gave a frame with our Music Festival photo and fingerprinted musical notes on a unique ukulele shaped card. We have all loved (Mrs Dyson included) developing our skills in playing the ukulele and have learned so much through our ukulele instructor Mr Butterworth. We look forward to developing our skills further next session.

P5D Outdoor Learning

Leave a comment

Primary 5 pupils had a fun afternoon participating in a variety of Outdoor Learning experiences. We planted and then watered wildflower seeds into our class planter. We then created our own Nature Art to decorate our planter by using a variety of natural materials found in our school grounds. We explored the field area to identify invertebrates using our ID Bug Charts. Calum’s group even found a bug which changed colour as they were watching it! We also took the opportunity to carry out some litter picking to keep our grounds beautiful. Mrs Dyson was very proud of all our hard work and enthusiasm during all activities.

Paul Jones Football

Leave a comment

Our school football team played in the finals of the Paul Jones Cup on Saturday at Kirkcudbright. The team played well but unfortunately didn’t reach the overall final. Well done to the team and thank you to Mr MacDougall and Mr Cathro for giving up their time to train and support our team throughout the tournament. Thanks must also go to the team at Active Schools for the fantastic organisation at each round in the tournament and on finals day.

What a fantastic day of sporting activity we had using lots of skills learned in PE over the year! P7 showcased their confidence as effective contributors to others learning as extremely responsible, clear,caring and fun young leaders of the 16 activities around the school. In mixed age teams, all children supported and encouraged one another to have a fun, successful and achieving day I in the sun.

Pupils from P1-7 participated in a potted sports event today  organised by Mrs Gray our P.E specialist. Children took part in fun games and activities using their knowledge and skills from P.E lessons to earn house points for their sports teams. P7 pupils,  high  school students along with school staff set up and co-ordinated each station and the children rotated round the tasks in their house groups throughout the day. Children demonstrated very good sporting attitudes and were very supportive and encouraging of each other. A huge thank you to Mrs Gray for organising and coordinating this event.

ibike Led Cycle

Leave a comment

Nine Primary 7 pupils took up the opportunity to participate in a led cycle through Dalbeattie forest today with Katie from ibike. Children carried out some bike and helmet checks in the playground before setting off through the forest.  The group cycled through the forest stopping at various points to discuss markers, routes and aspects of nature they were seeing on their morning out. There was also an opportunity to explore the new woodland park. Well done to all those who took park and showed determination with those hills. It certainly was a lovely day to be out cycling in the forest.
