Primary 7 Transition Visit

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.

P.A.R.T.Y with P7 week 2

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.

ibike Obstacle Course

The wet and miserable weather today didn’t stop some of our P6 and P7 pupils from getting on their bikes and taking part in an ibike obstacle course with Katie our ibike leader. Children braved the rain and had a fantastic time developing their cycling skills going over various ramps, jumps and beams.

Rotary quiz

On Tuesday 19th April, teams from the cluster schools assembled to take part in the annual rotary quiz, hosted this year at Dalbeattie Primary. All children involved were fantastic sports and showed superb general knowledge across all areas of the curriculum. Throughout the quiz the running scores were very close between all 4 teams however our deserving Dalbeattie area winners this year were Kirkgunzeon Primary, who scored exceptionally well throughout. Our team from Dalbeattie Primary worked extremely hard and gained a close second. Well done and thank you all children, staff and rotary members involved.
