Message from Mrs Duncan<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been a very different year for all schools as we have been working through a global pandemic. COVID \u201319 hasn\u2019t stopped us here at Dalbeattie Primary. We may have had some challenges to face but we have done so with a positive outlook and strong team spirit. I would like to thank you all, staff, pupils and parents\/carers for all that you have done this year and how you have approached things in such difficult times.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year we have developed some new vocabulary and concepts – bubbles, staggered starts and finishes to our school day, hand washing, handwashing and more handwashing. Hand sanitiser, hand sanitiser and oh yes, more spilt sanitizer. We had home learning, learning grids, teams, assignments and hubs in school. Risk assessment 1, Risk assessment 2. Each and everyone of us got our heads down faced what we had to and kept moving forwards.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Time in class\u00a0may have been\u00a0slightly different but learning has\u00a0continued\u00a0and you have certainly all had some great learning experiences with your teachers and staff throughout the school.\u00a0We have adapted, modified\u00a0and been creative\u00a0to continue the learning for our young\u00a0people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Children throughout the classes, we\u00a0have watched you all grow and developed once again his year build, friendships, learning new skills and\u00a0qualities\u00a0that are\u00a0supporting you to become\u00a0the\u00a0fantastic young people\u00a0that you all are.\u00a0We are proud of\u00a0each and every\u00a0one of you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alistair Gourlay Award for Art P1 – Meadow McLachlan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meadow is an extremely worthy winner of the P1 art competition!\u00a0 She loves art and every piece of work was of a very high standard.\u00a0 Her line drawing of a bird was super, as was her flower collage, flower painting and her tile print was bold with a bright decorative border.\u00a0 She is a careful and neat artist who enjoys working with lots of different media.\u00a0 Very well done! Mrs Fitzsimmons<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Jenny Corrie Trophy Award for Poetry P5 – Abigail Houston<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each year, the Jenny Corrie trophy is awarded to a pupil in Primary 5 for their efforts in poetry recitation or poetry writing.<\/p>\n

This year, during our period of Home Learning, pupils were asked to learn and recite a Scots poem. Several pupils recorded themselves reciting \u2018A dug, A dug\u2019 by Bill Keys.<\/p>\n

Miss Morrison and I were so impressed with the quality of submissions.<\/p>\n

However, one entry stood out for both of us.<\/p>\n

Abigail\u2019s performance was highly entertaining and certainly, very original. She spoke clearly, fluently and expressively. We can really imagine this conversation happening between a child and their dad.<\/p>\n

Prepare to be entertained as we now watch Abigail\u2019s recitation.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Abigail!\u00a0 \u00a0 Mrs Dyson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
