Our second set of minecrafters have enjoyed three weeks of Masterclasses with Mr Bennett.
They explored the space museum and solar system first then talked about spacecraft and tried building their own.
There was lots of thoughts about engines and crew quarters.

Master Classes are back after more than two years!
Our masterclasses are a range of lessons in a broad range of fun subjects and activities.
Children in P4 to P7 enjoyed taking part in a range of skills based masterclasses and there was a real buzz of excitement in the school as this much loved part of our curriculum was able to restart after the pandemic.
Children chose from a wide range of activities including Lego animation, sewing, cricket, football, Minecraft, cooking, ECO, board games, Chinese craft, chess and art.
Masterclasses will be returning during the next term.
Masterclasses are a tradition at Dalry, we run them in the last session on a Friday and children are given a choice from a range of activites provided by all our staff. Some will be extensions of curriculum items like languages and coding, others will be practical skills and fun activities like cooking or lego building.
The children are put into groups mixed across the school from p4-p7.
Look out for updates on what we get up to on the masterclasses tab on this website.

In our P1/2  STEM masterclass this week we began to learn about programming. We loved using our Beebots and took turns programming them to travel to our friends! Next week we will be learning how to instruct them to turn left and right.Â
Masterclasses have started! But this year we are doing them in class groups.
For the next 3 weeks P6 will be using their STEM skills to create a stop motion animation! This week they made a start on constructing their plasticine characters and began to discuss plots for their animation film!
We yet again had lots of pupils find great success in the chess tournaments continuing under COVID 19.
Thanks as always to our team and great volunteer chess organisers.
