Tonight saw the final two games of our school tournament being played. The overall winners of the tournament were the Lions. Thank you Mr MacDougall and Mr Cathro for all your support and enthusiasm this year in developing football throughout P6 and P7.
Here are just a few pictures from a terrific play ‘Goodbye Good Friend,’ which was one part of a super evening. Well done P7, Miss Clendinning and Mrs Burn. Also thanks to Dalbeattie High School’s Mrs Houston and Miss Telfer for help with a super buffet. More photos and full story to follow soon.
Preparing the Buffet at Dalbeattie High School
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.
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.
I am now able to share with you details about the young person we are sponsoring though the Janice Jamieson Memorial Foundation in Malawi. Our young person is called Agnes Yoswa. Agnes enjoys reading and singing and one day hopes to become a doctor. As a school , we have agreed to sponsor Agnes for 4 years and will have an annual fundraiser to provide sponsorship. We will receive half yearly reports about progress and look forward to sharing these with the school community.
Once again another dry, successful and fun sports day for P4-7 . Hooray! All classes took part in a variety of races and all showed supportive and sporting behaviour. The winning house this year was Colliston. Thank you Mrs Blackwood for the action photos of the event.
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.
Mrs Gray – PE Specialist.
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.
Mrs Anderson and Mrs Blackwood have recently been taking our netball teams to Crossmichael Primary to take part in an interschool competition organised by Active Schools. The teams have participated very well and shown increasing improvement in their techniques and standard of play. Thank you Mrs Anderson and Mrs Blackwood for your time and well done teams for your the fantastic effort and enthusiasm.
