Recently P1 have enjoyed reading the Katie Morag stories whilst learning about Scotland.  We decided to compare Dalbeattie to the Island of Coll.  First of all we went for a walk round our town taking lots of photographs ourselves which we then used to produce a poster of Coll and Dalbeattie.  After this we had a great time creating our own  Isle of Struay working together in groups.  Mrs Fitzsimmons was very impressed how wonderfully we worked together, our creative use of construction materials and our original ideas.  We enjoyed looking at each others islands and discussing our work.

We were also very lucky to be visited by some talented High School pupils at the end of our topic.  Shannon played several tunes on the bagpipes for us and Kierra showed us how to do the Highland Fling…….which we then joined in!

Last week P1 enjoyed a great trip to Threave Gardens where they met with the Rangers to go bug hunting and pond dipping.  We had a lovely walk round the gardens and a play in the park-   even though the sunny weather seemed to have disappeared!
