It’s been another busy week at Dalmellington PS and ECC. There have been a huge range of activities happening.
On Wednesday, we were awarded our Communication Friendly Accreditation. This award is the result of the hard work of staff and children to make our school a Communication Friendly School. Azaan and Keeli were on hand to accept the award as they had led the pupil presentation.
P4 and P5 enjoyed participating in the Festival of Farming at Dumfries House. They enjoyed engaging with all the exhibits there and learned lots about the farming industry. Thank you to our helpers who accompanied us on the trip.
Our new P1 pupils started their transition sessions in the school. This is building on all the work that has been done with P1 and Miss Donnelly working in the ECC with the children and the opportunity for our new P7 buddies to continue to support.
At assembly on Friday, we started reviewing our Playground Charter. This is something we do on an annual basis. We discuss what we see and hear in the playground when people play safely and fairly. We will be working on this over the next few weeks to update it.
The ECC children have been interested in learning about nature and life cycles so this will be an area of focus over the next few weeks for the children.
Next week we have lots more activities planned, although it is short week. Children and staff return on Tuesday after a long weekend. Some of the activities happening next week are: –
Tuesday – P6 Danger Detectives at Dean Park
