To celebrate this year’s World Book Day we entered a competition to design a winter coat, hat and boots for “Shadrach” the lion, based on the book Shadrach by local author Susan Ralph.
We were delighted that our very own Kareem was a winner! We will be receiving a signed copy of the book for our class library.
Well done Kareem!
Primary 2 had a great time celebrating World Book Day last week by watching a live stream of authors and illustrators including taking part in a drawing lesson with the author of ‘What the ladybird heard,’ Lydia Monks. She also really loves our drawings of the fine prize cow when we sent them to her on Twitter.
We also made bookmarks to take home and took part in a story book scavenger hunt in class looking for characters, objects and other things in the books.
On Friday, we split into 2 groups to act out the story of ‘What the ladybird heard’ and had great fun doing the animal noises
Here are the potato characters P3a created.
They all made either their favourite character or designed a new character, then they started to develop a story for their character. All the potato characters were sent home so pupils can tell their stories to people at home next week as part of their homework.
Please find linked below a letter from our Chief Education officer at City of Edinburgh council regarding the return of the upper school.
We will be providing more information from Dalry over the coming week and look forwards to seeing you all on the 15th.

Everyone in P1/2 has been delighted to be back in school this week.
We have spent lots of time playing laying both in our classroom and in the glorious spring sunshine.
The children have adapted brilliantly and are all thrilled to be reunited with their friends and teachers.
P3a chose to learn about Scottish Castles this term. They were given the STEAM challenge of designing and constructing a castle.
They learnt the names of different parts of castles and had to co-cooperate effectively within a group.
Congratulations to Lucy in P5/6 who won the Confucius Institute for Scotland’s School Chinese New Year Poster contest a few weeks ago.
