P1/2 have been learning all about repeated patterns in class. We had a go at making our own. We are really good at making sure we follow the colour patterns we create.

P1 read the story, ‘ Silly Billy,’ we discussed things we worry about and made worry dolls to share our worries with. The children worked very hard using lots of different colours and we talked about ways that help us stop worrying.


P1 have been using conkers to count with and put them in order from smallest to largest.




We went on a Autumn walk in our playground and found different kinds of leaves, berries, apples and made shadows on the ground and we saw Mrs Smith’s rabbits!









We made print patterns with potatoes and have a lovely display of them in the corridor outside our classroom.

As part of our Under the Sea topic we have been discussing and investigating pollution of our seas and oceans. As well as that, we have been discussing the effects of single use plastic and why it is important to recycle and reuse.
Our task this week was to sort and organise a variety of items into different recycling bins. We worked hard to share jobs such as cutting and organising, as well as listening to our peers and their suggestions. How do you recycle at home?






With Mr Wilson leaving this week we would like to thank Mr Bennett (pictured) for stepping in as our interim crossing patrol while the recruitment for Bill’s successor goes ahead. This has been crucial to help maintain social distancing measures by allowing families to meet in the wider space next to LIDL.

Mr Bennett has now invested in some new shoes to help in this role as the nights draw in.

It was on Wednesday this week, September 30th, that Mr Wilson, who many of us know as Bill, served his last shift on the school crossing ahead of his retirement.

He has been a very popular staff member for all in the school community and the sheer weight of leaving gifts from Dalry families reflected his high standing in the school community and local area.
Since Wednesday we have had enquiries from many local residents as to where Bill is and all asked us to pass on their best wishes for his retirement.
We at Dalry would like to thank Mr Wilson one more time for his years of service keeping us all safe.
P2 enjoyed building on their ball skills this week practising rolling, bouncing, throwing and catching. They have also had the opportunity to work in teams for rely races using different ways of travelling such as running, jumping and skipping.







Nursery children enjoying a variety of learning activities, both inside and outdoors, during the last days of summer!









We continue to develop our brick skills in class. The children are using different materials to construct their buildings. This week we have been playing with tigers and other wild animals and this has influenced some of our creations too. Have a look!
