Our Girls football team played at the Dumfriesshire Girls Football Festival on Monday 18th February. Despite some awful weather conditions, the girls played extremely well, winning all their games and showing greats sportsmanship to the other teams. Well done to them all and thanks to everyone who came along to support the team.
The minutes from the last Parent Council meeting held on the 30th January are now available under the Parent Council News section on the main menu.

P4/3 has been learning about Africa and used what we found out to inspire our Nobleskills modelling sessions . We had a great time creating a clothes peg safari. We learned that the Ndebele people decorate their homes and clothes with bright patterns and had a go at this ourselves by making models of their huts.
P4 pupils recently took part in swimming lessons at DGOne@Dumfries Ice Bowl during Jan/Feb. The pupils were a credit to the school and their families. Super behaviour and effort all round! All pupils should have brought home a leaflet with further details about swimming lessons.
P4 look like they have been having lots of fun recently making paper mache masks during their Nobelskillz session.
Congratulations to our Star of the Week group!
Lori has received certificates of achievement for passing her grades at baton twirling and Emily showed the school her medals which she won for ice skating. Well done to you both!
Nobleskillz Modelling
During their recent Nobleskillz input P6 have been cooking, upcycling rubbish to create some fabulous art work, line dancing, model making and are currently singing. They have enjoyed all activities so far. During their modelling sessions they were challenged to reproduce a Spanish or a Scottish building in line with this terms theme. I think they made a fantastic job.
Nobelskillz dancing
Feis Rois
P6 have been benefitting from input from the Feis Rois musical initiative. They are learning Scottish and Gaelic songs and learning to play the Ukulele and Djembe drums. They have had a great time and enjoying this experience.
Let’s get Sporty
Every year the P6 year group get the chance to support the Nursery children when the Let’s get Sporty group come in to work with the children. They are having a great time working with the children, some of which will become their buddies next session.
Lego WeDo
Our school borrowed Lego WeDo kits from the Raise team. We were excited to try the kits out in class. Following the step by step instructions we built fans, Mars rovers, glowing snails and motion sensors. We can’t wait for our Lego WeDo project now we know how the parts work.
Camouflage Painting
We have been learning about how animals adapt to survive. This week we explored how animals change colours to camouflage against their environment to help animals find food and stop becoming food. Miss Stewart challenged us to camouflage a hand against various backgrounds. What an exceptional job achieved by all.
Our Fantastic Beasts – Lego WeDo Project
Miss Stewart challenged us to build our own fantastic beast, working in pairs as a team to complete our moving projects (that’s right – we needed a moving part for our animal :o). With lots of trial and error, combined with hard work and communication – WE DID IT!
Our new Star of the Weeks – well done everyone!
Congratulations to our medal winners. Luke has been successful in swimming and Constance won her medal for cheerleading.
Congratulations to our Star of the Week winners this week. They were presented with their posters at assembly which are full of lovely comments about them written by their fellow classmates. A copy is also put on display at reception on the Star of the Week board.
P6 and P7 recently took part in a Speechmaking competition run by Dumfries Rotary Club. Isabella, Molly-Mae, Bethan and Riley were chosen to represent Noblehill. Well done!
