Teams trouble

We are aware that there are some issues with teams this morning ranging from whole classes disappearing to documents being inaccessible.

We think the system has simply been overwhelmed by new sign ins. We are hoping it comes back to normal soon and are working on the worst issues.

In the meantime all class learning documents are available on the school website at https://dalryprimaryschool.com/2021/01/10/home-learning-for-week-commencing-11th-january-2021/ for P1-P6.

P7, who are having the worst issues, please bear with us. We will announce when that team is re-established.

Dalry Nativity 2020

Dear Parents and Carers,

Whilst we have not been able to have our annual Nativity performance all together in school we have still managed to produce a digital version for everyone to enjoy. Primary 1s and P1/2s practised and recorded their singing and dancing outdoors following Scottish Governemnt guidance, P2s from P1/2 were recorded narrating the story and P2s acted out the story on the stage. The very talented Mrs Ewen with some help from Mr Bennett edited the clips and have put together an amazing show for you all to enjoy.

I’d like to thank all of the staff teams in P1, P1/2 and P2 for working their magic to make this all possible for the children, and for the parents and carers to have a lasting memory of their child talking part in this popular annual event.

The whole school watched the premiere at 9.15AM in their classes and P6 were given the link to access at home on Teams whilst they are self-isolating.

Please click on the link below, sit back and enjoy Dalry’s performance of ‘A Bundle of Joy’
