Fareshare have been dropping off food from local supermarkets on some Fridays for the school community to take as needed.
This is a green initiative to reduce food waste which is great timing with COP26 taking place in Scotland. So do your bit to help reduce food waste and take something home. Check the playground on Fridays after school.

If one of the children in the Dalry community has achieved something special outside of school, from sporting success to chess, from environmental work to volunteering, or even an especially interesting activity, we love to hear about it in school.
If you think it’s worth a shout out here on the website as well then either talk to Mr Bennett if you see him or send an email and photo or two adressed to FAO Mr Bennett to the school’s admin email address.
Wider Achievements are celebrated in news posts which are also filtered in the wider achievments menu of the website.

Before the half term holidays Dalry Primary was experiencing election fever as the annual vote to choose our Clan Chiefs and Deputes arrived.
Our Elected Representatives for 2021-22
In the weeks before polling day the candidates wrote and performed amazing video hustings speeches and produced brilliant campaign posters. Many staff commented that this election was the hardest and most passionately fought in their time at Dalry. Each morning before school and at break and lunch candidates were seen canvassing for support and waving banners.
Dalry democracy has never been healthier.
Our election day results were announced by Mr Linton and P6 who put on a brilliant election day special assembly teams call.
It was only last week that Mrs Honeyman was able to present the successful candidates with their official badges of office. So now that they have their proper accoutrements of office let us present the Chiefs and Deputes for 2021-22

There’s a lot of great work going up on display all around the school at the moment. Well done on the hard work to all the classes and well done on the hard work to all the staff putting up displays, but most of all to our queen of the staple gun, Mrs Arundel.

Are you a family thinking about enrolling at Dalry Primary?
Normally we would be hosting an open day with school tours but COVID 19 restrictions still make this impossible at present.
If you do want to take a video tour of the school we can offer you 2 different ones filmed in the last year.
The first is a thorough tour led by students aimed at families as a whole.
Our Second video is a tour aimed at Nursery into P1 families and gives a tour more focused on a day in the life of a P1. This tour is available in English or Arabic.

We hope you enjoy these videos and we see you in the near future at Dalry Primary.

Are you concerned about your child watching inappropriate content online? Even if you use the browser controls to block inappropriate websites many streaming services, from Netflix to Disney + host content designed for adults and teens that would be very inappropriate for any child in our school to be viewing.
Sometimes the labels and postings may look child friendly but be anything but. The latest example we are hearing about in school is Squid Games which, with playground games and hot pastel colours the sets look at a glance like it may be a kid’s game show. But it is actually a bloodsoaked, ultra-violent, satirical drama for adults.
The streamers do flag this content with age ratings, but kids are unlikely to notice, read or respect those every time.
To protect children from viewing this content accidentally all mainstream video streaming sites have also have parental controls which just take a moment to set up. Without these switched on though your child is only a click or two away from sexually explicit, violent content and depictions of drug taking. So taking a few minutes to turn protections on is worthwhile.
We’ve linked to videos below to help you quickly set the parental controls on the most popular services.
