What a fantastic Sports Day ! Well done to all pupils in Primary 1,2 and 3 . All children participated well and had a fun and enjoyable sports day in the sun. Children took part in team races and then individual races. The team work was fantastic and sporting behaviour shone through. Thank you to all those who joined us today and thank you to staff for organising the event.
Our Paul Jones team played in the third round of the tournament at Meadow Park in Castle Douglas today after school. Here they are having a well earned rest in between games. Well done again this week boys. Keep up at the fantastic team work.
The first game of our Dalbeattie Primary School Trophy was played today after school in Colliston Park. Mr MacDougall has organised this event for P6 and P7 pupils who attended after school football training. The children have been split into 4 teams Jaguars, Lions, Panthers and Tigers. Over the next six weeks the teams will play each other once. This weeks winners were the Lions who beat the Jaguars . The score was 6 to the Lions 3 to the Jaguars.

This afternoon P6 shared the homework task they were set regarding their favourite author. Some pupils chose to present their information in a poster while some chose a factfile. We began by looking at all our work and reading all the fabulous facts before giving written feedback to each other.
Many of us were very keen to present our work to class and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to each other. Mrs Fitzsimmons was very impressed with all our hard work and how creative it was!
Primary 7 pupils visited Dalbeattie High School on Thursday 19th May as part of their ongoing transition work. Classes meet with Mr McMahon from pupil support and participate in discussions about high school. Pupils also had the opportunity ask any questions they might have about transition days in June or their move to S1 in August. Both classes enjoyed their visits and asked many important questions. Pupils also had a tour of the school visiting different classes and found their way to different areas of the building.
Mrs Blackwood very kindly supported the school recently at our 140th Anniversary afternoon tea and took photographs of visitors in Victorian style costumes. Some pictures were taken in front of our historic bell tower. Many thanks to Mrs Blackwood and Mrs McConnell for their time and enthusiasm on the day. A selection of photos from the day are featured below.
This week with P.A.R.T.Y we were learning about the effects alcohol can have on our bodies and our organs. We had to draw around one of our group members then draw and colour in all the major organs. After that we had to think about the short term effects and the long term effects of alcohol abuse and then present our posters to the class.
Our mocktail this week was green! It consisted of lemonade, orange juice, apple juice and curacao bleu.
Wednesday 11th May was World Orienteering day. Solway Orienteers visited Dalbeattie Primary School and organised an orienteering maze and other fun challenges. Pupils from P5-P7 all participated in this event.
Photos below show P7C participating on the day and extending their knowledge and skill levels in orienteering.
Primary 3 visited Tesco on Tuesday to find out more about where their food comes from. We also managed a quick trip to the live stock market to see some sheep being sold.
