A Message From our Nursery Team
Dalry Grand Prix
We suspect a lot of you are playing video games in lockdown.
Just for fun over the long weekend Mr Bennett has set up a daily tournament for those in the school who have a Nintendo Switch online and Mariokart (quite a few people we know from playground chat) (sorry folks who use other platforms and games, this is the one we have access to).
It will run daily for an hour at 16.00-17.00 from today until Sunday.
The tournament code is 4408 8061 7003
With regard to online safety Mariokart doesn’t feature voice chat or free texting. You won’t need to friend the other players to play with this set up.
And if you’ve been building amazing things in other games like Minecraft feel free to send us some pictures of what you have created.
Have fun!
Holidays and In Service Days in Coming Weeks
It’s Friday, It’s May and we hope you’ve all had another great Dalry Digital week.
We’d just like to remind you that there is an in service day and a school holiday to mark the 75th anniversary of VE day next week.
As a result P6 and P7 teams won’t run on Monday or Friday and Teachers won’t be on Twitter on those days.
We will be doing quite a lot of training and planning on Monday to try to keep adding to our digital school.
There is another holiday on Monday May 18th.
Have a great weekend and see you for another (shorter) Dalry Digital week on Tuesday.

Ramadan Mubarak
Dalry Primary School wish Ramadan Mubarak to all our of our families marking Ramadan.
We hope that the lockdown, while tough, can make this time of year more memorable and special as you have more time with family. We will miss sharing it with you all.
We really hope to have a brilliant family meal as we usually do to mark Eid and year end once school resumes.
Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital Video
Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital have sent us the below message and video.
We hope that you are well and staying safe.
At the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh things are changing on a daily basis and Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity are doing all we can to support the children, families and staff during these challenging times.
The doctors and nurses told us that children were becoming distressed at seeing the staff in their PPE, and that their usual methods of helping children stay calm during their hospital visits and treatments weren’t working because of the clothing and equipment that they now have to wear.
To help them, we have made a short film (just 2 minutes long) to explain to children why different workers need to wear PPE to stay safe, and to show that under the masks and aprons it is still the same friendly people at the hospital. We are keen for this film to be seen by as many children as possible so they know what to expect and are not as scared if they need to come to hospital, and so we are sending it to all of the schools on our list.

Art Videos From Damian Callan
Artist and great friend of the school Damian Callan has sent us the below message with links to some great free art videos.
I just wanted to let you know about some free art videos that I have been producing together with an artist friend, Aine Divine. Called ’14 Days of Art & Creativity’ these are daily prompts for both adults and children and I wondered if they would be of interest to parents and children at the school.
If anyone wants to follow these up they are on my website under ‘online classes’ (www.damiancallan.com) or Aine’s YouTube channel
Here’s today’s from me:
Drawing musical instruments with collage and different pens and pastels.
Best wishes
Damian
