We looked at some American folk art to inspire these ‘Perfect Landscape’ pictures. The children worked really carefully to add interesting lines, different patterns and colours.

P1 Prospective Families School Tour
Normally at this time of year our clan chiefs and deputes would be guiding families around Dalry Primary as part of P1 registration week.
We couldn’t do that this year thanks to the pandemic so we have made a video with two of our chiefs for prospective parents, carers and P1s to get a look at the school.
It’s also a great opportunity for this year’s P1 and P1/2 families to get a peek inside the classroom as you would normally have been able to do on parents evening.
P6 2020 Diwali Celebration
We haven’t been able to have our usual Diwali extravaganza at Dalry Primary this year but P6 stepped in and have organised a fantastic classroom sized celebration.
The video of the celebration is at the bottom of this page along below some photos of the event and behind the scenes preparations.
P6 also wanted you to watch a BBC video about Diwali linked next.

Happy Diwali everybody and well done P6.
P3b Get Active
Ricky, our Active Schools coordinator, has been teaching the pupils some great games in the playground.
P3b Autumn Trees
P3B have created beautiful Autumn pictures. They used their fingers and colour mixing to create all the different colours of leaves. They then added a trunk and branches with crayon- so effective!
P3b Black History Month
Primary 3B have been learning about Black History Month. We have been finding out about Rosa Parks and the difference she made to segregation laws in America. Here is an acrostic poem that all the children helped to write.
Bronze Awards
Chloe and Nima recieved their Bronze awards in P3a this week for achievment.
Well done girls.
More Chess Success

Thanks as always to our team and great volunteer chess organisers.
