P4/3 -Africa
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 – Swimming Lessons
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 – Nobelskillz
P4 look like they have been having lots of fun recently making paper mache masks during their Nobelskillz session.

P6 – Term 3
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.
