Dalry Primary is happy to announce that we have been selected as a Dynamic Earth Golden ticket school for this academic year.
This means the school and nursery will be able to take free admission on trips for all of our pupils as well as subsidised travel and free learning workshops.
We are extremely excited by this amazing opportunity.
We invited all family members and friends to join us for some fun at the Dalry Nursery Class ‘BIG SING’ Tuesday 17th September 9.00am for the GREEN YELLOW BLUE GROUPS and Thursday 19th September 9.00am for the RED PURPLE ORANGE GROUPS.
We sang some of our favourite songs with Yousouf Gooljary, St Martin’s Church rector, joining us with his guitar!
The nursery had another great swim trip this week. If you and your child enjoyed swimming and would like to learn to swim please see the information in the photo attached or contact Dalry Swim Centre https://www.edinburghleisure.co.uk/venues/dalry-swim-centre
We had a great morning in the pool on Wednesday 5th June. For some children it was their first time in a swimming pool! Thank you to all the parents who came along and made this trips possible!
Our children who will start P1 enjoyed a very exciting Moving Up Day with their parents in the hall, before enjoying some time in their new classrooms. They all left with a decorated box of goodies to help them get ready for P1 over the summer break.
Thanks to Miss Kelly and Mrs Mason for organising this very well attended and successful event.
Our Pre-school children enjoyed a lovely day out at the Botanic Gardens exploring nature and wildlife, enjoying snack and lunch togehter and rounded the day off with a visit to the play Park at Inverleith Park. Thank you to all the parents who came with us and made this trip possible.
Mrs Mushtaq will be delivering a drop in session to Dalry nursery parents who have English as an Additional Language on how to support the use of their home language and English acquisition on Tuesday 18th June from 9 – 10 am in SfL room.
Do come along.
This week we were joined by Christine Eccles for RHET (Royal Highland Education Trust) who taught us how to make bread. She brought some real wheat for us to look at and we ground the grain into flour. Then we mixed, pounded and starched out our dough before shaping it into rolls which we left to rise before baking. AND we got to take our tasty bread home. YUMMMY!
See our EASY bread recipe attached.
The RHET also run the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston which makes a great day out for children and families to visit. Ingliston is near Edinburgh Airport on the 300 bus and tram route.
After a lovely Easter Break and some truly FANTASTIC weather all the children have settled happily back at nursery. They have been keen to help staff set up and then enjoy some of our lovely new resources including a very special and relaxing story house, a refurnished creative area, a brand new mud kitchen, our very own water wall and lots of other smaller, but wonderful, items such as an outdoor clock and new tools and utensils for our sand, planting and mud kitchen areas. And we now have a great BIG shed to store everything safely overnight, during the weekends and holidays!
The children have been involved in every stage of the planning, selection and the layout of their playground and monies from the school’s outdoor learning fund, and the very generous donations you all make to our toy fund, which enabled us to purchase these items.
Finally, we would all like to thank the children, staff, and our janitor Mrs Smith for her help and in particular Mr Fituch, dad of Matylda (in the nursery) and Nell (Primary 4) for all his time and hard work!
