Muir Award with P5/6 and P6

During the lockdown in Term 4 this year, pupils from the then P5 and P5/4 (now P5/6 and P6) at Dalry Primary School (and their families) worked towards their John Muir Discovery Award.

A range of activities was suggested within each week’s learning grid and pupils’ work was sent to teachers on Twitter.  We found out about the life of John Muir, we walked sections of the John Muir way, we created Nature Art and we completed activities in the Mission: Explore booklet from the John Muir Trust.

To help conserve our environment we created bird feeders and bug hotels, and we contributed to surveys on pollinators and wildflowers. 

Despite the challenges of completing the Award during a lockdown, we were delighted to receive certificates for 31 pupils and parents.  Well done to everybody!

P6 Drummers

In music with Mrs Ewan, P6 have been learning how to drum! Over the past two weeks they have been learning how to play ‘Jai Ho’featured in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Miss Curran popped into the lesson for a sneak peek and was not disappointed- they were brilliant!

John Muir Project Celebration Book for P5/6

Ms Shepherd was so proud of the work her class produced last year towards the John Muir Award that she has made a book of all their learning. 

Here are some pictures of the book to show you some of the work we did, a lot of it during lockdown.  We hope to be able to show you the book properly when some restrictions lift.

Well done to all!

At the Edinburgh Youth Summit in February young people across Edinburgh came together to discuss climate.

Now is the opportunity for young people across the city to listen to the ideas presented so far and even add their own.
