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.
The nursery children are ‘Edinburgh Festival Goers!
We enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Edinburgh Festival as some of us visited the Royal Mile and attended a show.
Many of our nursery class have been enjoying their lunch at school this week. There has been lots of learning as part of this experience, and it is a very sociable time for both adults and children alike
We enjoyed an action packed week in the nursery. We hope you enjoy sharing our photos with us. Thank you to all the family members and members of our community who helped to make this such a special week for all of us!
FUN SWIM SESSION
On Monday and Tuesday many of our children and parents ‘jumped in’ to Dalry Swim Centre for an action packed fun swim session.
SHARING SECRETS FESTIVAL
On Wednesday we went Ceilidh dancing at St Martin’s Church, Dalry Road led by Ceilidh Kids. Thank you to the Church and Minister John Conway for hosting this event – including refreshments!
MOVING ON UP DAY
All our children ‘moving on up’ to Primary 1 in August were invited to our special transition morning on Thursday 15th June. The children took part in an activity and later went to the classrooms for a story with the Primary 1 teachers Miss Bacigalupo and Miss Milne. Our Head Teacher, Mrs Honeyman and Depute Head Teacher, Miss Kelly, spoke to parents about our school and Primary 1. Refreshments were provided by the Parent Council and our local Health Visitors, Toy Library, Dental Health Service and Gingerbread After School Care all had stalls providing information for parents.

We’d all like to congratulate Mrs Lockey on her brilliant running in the first ever Stirling Marathon.
She managed to finish in 5 hours, 41 minutes and 42 seconds. Quite an achievement.
Primary 1A have been enjoying playing different cooperative games with Louise.
Primary 1A have been learning about growing plants.
They planted seeds and some seedlings in the playground and have been watering them and checking on them each week.
It has been very exciting seeing the changes that the plants have made. Hopefully we will have broad beans, lettuce and pumpkins to enjoy soon.
Primary 1 did a community litter pick with the help of some parents and members of Dalry community. Well done to everyone who helped.
The children in primary 1, with the support of parents and members of our community, worked really hard to make our street and playground litter free.
Afterwards, the children learned about landfill sites, recycling, reducing and composting in a litter workshop.
