Here is a link to view our Nursery to P1 video with an Arabic voice over provided by Ghazal in P7.
We had hoped to provide more translated voice overs in different languages but the production process has proved slow, quite difficult and a far larger time demand on our P7s than expected.
As a result this will be the only translation we are able to make.
A big thank you again to Ghazal for all her hard work on this.

Session date change Christmas holidays 2021
At its March meeting, the Education, Children and Families Committee agreed to change the scheduled Christmas holiday dates from Friday 24 December 2021 – Monday 10 January 2022 to Monday 20 December 2021 – Tuesday 4 January 2022.
The change was based on a similar amendment to the previous year’s holiday dates. The reasons for the change are set out in this committee report:
The report did not include consideration of the in-service day after the holidays. This will be Wednesday 5 January 2022. To ensure that pupils are in school for the required 190 days, the summer term will be amended to finish on Friday 1 July 2022 instead of Thursday 30 June.
The agreed changes are now on the Council website, along with dates for dates for 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25
We have been asked to share the below information from City of Edinburgh Council.
Take a COVID-19 test, even if you don’t have symptoms
Regular testing for people with no COVID-19 symptoms is one of the ways we can all help keep our friends, families and communities safe. High school students are already offered regular lateral flow tests. We are now offering rapid community testing for people with no COVID-19 symptoms in neighbourhoods in Edinburgh where case numbers are or have been high.
Infection rates are higher in the community around your school than in some other areas of the city, so we’re asking people in the community with no COVID-19 symptoms to come for a test at Fountainbridge Library. We’re open from 9am to 6pm from Monday 31 May to Sunday 6 June. Children under 16 will need to be accompanied by a parent or carer.
If you can’t get to the library, you can order free rapid lateral flow test kits online or by phoning the National Testing Centre on 119.
As always anyone with symptoms should self-isolate and book a PCR test online or by calling the National Testing Centre on 119.
You can find out more at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/communitytesting
Thank you for your help.

Given COVID safety we can’t do our usual talks for families on the moving up process this year.
Instead we have the power point (with audio notes) linked below.
Hopefully any questions you have about starting P1 will be answered and you’ll learn more about the fun of starting school at Dalry.
