On Friday afternoon last week a group of P7’s came down to P1 to help us plant various seeds as part of our ‘In the Garden’ topic work. We worked in groups and when we were finished we also had fun making plasticene flowers together. Last but by no means least the P7’s volunteered to read us some stories. Thank you P7 and come back soon!
As part of our Extreme Earth topic we have been learning about chemical reactions.
Today we carried out several science experiments using vinegar and baking soda to create volcanic eruptions. We made predictions and tried lots of different combinations and methods to discover which one created the best and biggest reaction.
We had great fun but it sure did stink!!!!
Primary 7 have been thoroughly enjoying their PE transition with Mr Drennan over the past few weeks. They have demonstrated excellent skill and stamina in their weekly challenges, despite being worked very hard, and have returned to class with very rosy cheeks!
Primary 7C have been busy this term recreating some traditional children’s stories into Scots language. Today P7 developed their presentation skills by sharing their books with the P3s, who were a fantastic audience. Thank you P3 and well done P7C!
On Wednesday 7th March, Dalbeattie Primary School were delighted to host the cluster round of this years Rotary Quiz. Teams from Dalbeattie, Palnackie, Kirkgunzeon and Colvend too part in the quiz. Mr Cathro, Mr Lumbsden and Mr Sanderson from the local Rotary Club joined pupils to co-ordinate the event. The questions were varied and suitably challenged all levels of knowledge. Congratulations to the team from Palnackie Primary who won the cluster round and will now progress to the regional round of the quiz. Well done to the Dalbeattie team for a fantastic effort.
