Our Confucius Classroom was opened this week in a fantastic ceremony led by our P7 pupils.
We hope that the new facility will be a great success in fostering mutual learning and stronger ties with our partners in China.
P1B have a school library time every Wednesday at 2-2.30pm.
They enjoyed their first visit and explored all the different books available.
They will soon be able to choose a book to take home to share with their family and return it the following week so that they are able to select another
Some of us went swimming, we had a Big Sing with Mrs Ewen, the school music teacher and many of our parents joined us and also a Harvest Celebration, with David at St Martin’s Church, from where all our donations will be shared with people in need in our community.
On Wednesday 20th September Dalry Primary School welcomed Mr Hua & Liu Xue to our school.
Mr Hua is the Head Teacher at Zhongying Primary School in Tianjin, China. Liu Xue is a Mandarin Teacher at Portobello High School.
Here is the Edinburgh Sounds Poster that we use in school in our phonics lessons and literacy.
We will soon be putting up a page on this site that has the sounds for you to hear.
Primary 1B have been exploring their school.
They found out that there is a library , music/drama room, a computer suite and a Confucius hub.
They also interviewed Mr Wilson who told them all about his job. Can you guess what he does?
Primary 1B have been learning about 2D shapes. They have played games, sorted different shapes and especially enjoyed using the ipad!
This week over 30 parents/carers and children visited Gorgie/Dalry Toy Library based at St Martin’s Church, Dalry Road (just along the road from the school).
The Library has over 250 toys for 0 year – 8 year old children to borrow. We found out how to join the library, access their borrowers catalogue on-line and played with some of their toys.
The Library is open every Monday from 10am – 11.30am. There is also a toddler group called Little Martian’s at the same time. Everyone is welcome – just come along!
The children at the nursery collected the apples from our apple tree.
The apples were then made into tasty apple crisps and a delicious apple cake which we then used to celebrate a birthday!
The nursery, teaching and PSA team enjoyed some staff training in the sunshine to learn about the benefits of open ended creative Loose Play with Louise Caldwell (Play Development Officer).
We are all looking forward to developing this initiative with pupils, parents and staff over the course of this year.
