Week 4
Song writing started this week. The children did some rhythm warm- ups(see videos) and then started writing the lyrics for their song(s). The children created the chorus ideas first then began to work on each verse in smaller sub-groups.

Three teams participated in the Schools Gymnastics Competition on Saturday 23rd of January at the David Keswick Centre Dumfries. The teams performed floor routines and vaults. Standards on the day were extremely high but all teams enjoyed the experience. Well done to everyone.
Primary 5 and Primary 5/6 have been extremely busy this term out singing and entertaining in the community. First of all both classes performed at the switching on of the Christmas lights in Dalbeattie Town centre on 4th December. They have since sang carols at the Post Office and at Kinnairds. Both classes also visited Dalbeattie Day Centre to sing a selection of carols and Christmas songs. P5 visited Munchies care home on Friday 18th of December and P5/6 braved the rain and visited Alma House on 21st December to bring some Christmas cheer with their singing. It is fantastic to have the children involved in the community and we hope all who have seen the performances have enjoyed them. Well done P5 and P5/6 for showing such community spirit.

Pupils and staff at Dalbeattie Primary wore their Christmas jumpers to school today and had a fun day celebrating the count down to the school holidays. There were a wide range of styles and design on show throughout the school with some children creating and designing their own jumpers and adding lights, baubles and tinsel to add that extra bit of sparkle. Everyone looked very festive in their Christmas attire.
