Week 1- Back to the forest for some and a new adventure for others. The pupils had a great time getting to know their surroundings and making pictures on the forest floor.

Week 2- Lots of bug hunters finding different creepy crawlies in the forest today. Well done to everyone working well in their teams to make brilliant shelters.

Week 3- Not the best weather but never mind, hot chocolate in out shelter makes everything better!

Week 4- We used a bow saw today to cut ‘wookies’ (wood cookies)

Week 5- Don’t get stuck in the spider’s web or you might get caught! P4/3 had to use their balance and ninja moves to get across our giant spider’s web. We were all impressed by the flames our fire had and very happy to toast a marshmallow or two when they died down.

Dalry Primary recieved a pair of tickets to the Scottish cup final this week to see our local team Hearts take on Celtic at Hampden Park.

We did a draw for them and Archie in P2 was the lucky winner.

Have fun Archie and good luck Hearts!

We’ve been having some American football throwing lessons at lunchtimes in recent weeks, organised by Active Schools and run by Tom from Touchdown UK.

This week Tom also brought in some American football kit for a sporty dressing up session alongside the practice.

P7 recently organised a Spring Fair which was a great success for all of our children. They raised around £220 which will be used to subsidise their end of school celebration.

From beauticians to treasure hunts, games to popcorn all kids of fun was had.

There was much  sporting competition to be found at the wellie wanging run by P3.

Caterpillars have arrived in primary 2!
Both classes have received five little caterpillars who are busy eating their way through special food (see the base of the pot in the photo). They’ve already started to get bigger and the children are really excited about watching them transform into beautiful butterflies. Watch this space!
