Buddy Time for P6 and P2a
P6 will be buddying up with P2a this year!
This term we will be working in small groups to create different structures using the Loose Parts Play equipment.
This week we built an obstacle course and gave feedback to each group.
Buddying has given us the opportunity to work on our communication, organisation and creativity skills!
Watch out for more photos and see how our relationships Blossom with P2a!

P2a People Who Help Us
P2A are beginning their new topic and are very excited!
We have started to learn about “People who Help Us”. We have lots of dressing up clothes, are planning lots of excellent drama activities and are looking forward to learning more about what to do in a an emergency.
As well as this we are also planning to look at other people who help us every day as part of their jobs. The children are coming up with new ideas every day – make sure to ask them all about it.
Loose Play Time for P3 and P3/4
P3 and P3/4 had a great time last week building and exploring in a loose play session.

P2a Shape Detectives
P2a have been investigating the properties of 2d shapes.
We made some shapes in class and then took them on a shape hunt around our school grounds. Among others, we found squares, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons!
We’ve also been doing some vexillological shape finding. Looking at shapes in flags.
We will be looking for more shapes around our homes and local environments as part of our home learning tasks.

Dalry’s New Playground Paintwork
The playgrounds at Dalry got some fabulous new markings over the summer.
Since we’ve been back the children have loved the new activity trail, the king squares court and the repainted football pitch in particular.
Thanks to the parent council for organising this work and sourcing funds to supply the brilliant results.
Introducing the new School Nursing Service in Lothian
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the new school nursing role in Lothian.
Society is changing and so are the needs of children and young people.
The Scottish Government has refocused the roles of School Nurses and Health Visitors in Scotland to ensure the workforce is prepared to meet
the needs of today’s children.
The new School Nursing role relates to the Scottish Government’s Nursing 2030 vision which supports nurses to build working relationships with children and young people who will benefit from specialist support so they can work together to tackle problems at an early stage and prevent future health issues.

made in Lothian, visit: https://services.nhslothian.scot/schoolnursing
