Happy new year to everyone at Dalmellington!

I hope that everyone had a lovely, restful holiday.

I am so looking forward to working with everyone in P1 this term.

Keep your eyes open on the blog for more fun learning to come! x

A massive thank you to our amazing Parent Council who organised surprise goodie bags filled with arts and crafts! Merry Christmas to everyone from P6/7! 🎄🎅🏻⛄️🌟

Our ‘Secret Agents of Elfis’ have shared their final compliments of the year! Our wonderful pupil has been complimented as being funny, kind, a good friend and a great dancer! 🤩

Our ‘Pupil of the Day’ was ready for our Christmas Party today!  She has been complimented by our ‘Secret Agents of Elfis’ as being a good friend, kind, good at horse riding and skipping!  What super skills and qualities!

Primary 6/7 thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas Party this afternoon.  A fun-filled time with lots of games and music!

Just wanted to say I was really touched by the lovely flowers and amazing good wishes video today. Thank you so much it has made my Christmas.Stay safe and have a peaceful Christmas. Lets get ready for whatever 2021 brings. Mrs Forsyth

Our ‘Secret Agents of Elfis’ just love giving out compliments to each other to give us all the feel good factor!  Our pupil today has been described as a great boxer, funny and an all round “good chap”!  He also shares his Maths and skipping skills too!

Our ‘Paths Pupil of the Day’ enjoyed being complimented on being a very good friend and having a great sense of humour!  He certainly likes to make sure we all have a smile on our faces!

Tomorrow (Friday 11th December) is our class ‘Mini Christmas Day’!  Pupils can wear Christmas jumpers/t-shirts.  We are heading up the ‘Bing’ after break and will be back to school in time for our Christmas lunch.  Please bring wellies/walking boots as it will be muddy and a warm, waterproof jacket.  Our afternoon plans are a Christmas movie and pupils have been asked to vote using the Class Teams.  Pupils will choose either Elf or Home Alone.  As both of these are rated a PG, please contact the school if you do not wish your child to watch either of these.  If you are happy with this, no need to contact us.  Many thanks!  The pupils are looking forward to our festive day as our P6/7 Family!

We have been linking our learning of our local environment, digital and literacy skills today!  During our walks, we are developing our knowledge of trees and wildlife.  We have developed online research skills to create a PowerPoint about a tree species we see in our community.  We are looking forward to using this knowledge to present our PowerPoint and to support us in identifying trees on our next outing to Pennyvenie Bing tomorrow morning.
