Dalry’s Basketball team, coached with support of West End Warriors, made their debut this week along with and against Canal View and Pentland’s teams.
They played and handled themselves admirably and received wide praise from coaches and teachers at the matches.
The results were won 1 lost 1, so very competitive stuff.

As part of our Scotland topic we have been learning some of the key skills involved in Scottish country dancing. We can all now dance a simple reel together and have really enjoyed listening to Scottish music during these sessions. We have loved teaming up with Blythe boys and girls from P1. Miss Low is a fantastic caller and coach!
Primary 1/2 have been learning how to play tennis! We have learnt how to handle balls and rackets and have even had a go at playing tennis matches!

In PE this term, P2 have been practising and enhancing their gymnastic skills. We have been learning a variety of holds and positions, as well as performing balances independently and with a partner, to create a short routine.
Primary 6 had a fantastic time at their recent camp!
We were so lucky to experience so many different activities including wall climbing, crate stacking, archery and making fires!
Everyone did a fantastic job of supporting each other to challenge themselves and face their fears. Day 2 was very wet and muddy but it didn’t stop us having fun, in fact we decided to embrace it by jumping in the mud puddles and have rolly polly races down the hill, it was great fun! If only we could do it all again!
We’ve been having some American football throwing lessons at lunchtimes in recent weeks, organised by Active Schools and run by Tom from Touchdown UK.
