The weather has turned recently and the chillier months are setting in.
Can we remind families that it is our policy to send children out to play in all safe weather conditions to benefit from outdoor play. This includes when it is a little cold, raining or snowing gently or after snow.
Please can you be sure to send your child to school with appropriate clothing. A coat and ideally hat scarf and gloves as appropriate.
Many thanks.
We had a fabulous nativity at Dalry this week.
Well done to all our budding narrators, kings, shepherds, animals, stars, angels and Mary and Joseph. Thanks you to to all our staff helpers and organisers.
Watch out for Snowmen in the playground!
We enjoyed a really special CHRISTMAS SING-SONG AND STORY TELLING EVENT with the wonderful staff at Fountainbridge Library during the first week of December.
We also made our very own ‘Christmas Trees’ and had a tasty snack.
Thank you to all the parents who joined us and made this trip possible!
Fountainbridge Library, on Dundee Terrace, is a great place to visit. They have lots of activities for children and adults alike and you can borrow books in other languages too! If you would like further information, please visit their website.
The Parent council held a very successful bake sale last Friday, raising funds towards snacks for our Christmas cinema outing this week.
Thanks you very much to all who baked, sold, and bought!

The lovely folks at St Brides community centre, just around the corner, have a fabulous Friday planned this week with winter films, food and crafts on offer. Full details on the poster below.

Rozalia came first by answering an amazing 970 questions correctly.
Rozalia has won a certificate for her amazing achievement as well as 6 months of free Sumdog for her class!
Congratulations Rozalia!
Also well done to our other top 50 stars Juan in P3/4 who came 46th and Nell in P4 who came 49th.
Also well done to Akshaj, Samarth, Shriya and Harshu who all made the top 100.
P4 also made it to 10th placed class overall.
All children at Dalry have access to a Sumdog account they can use in school and at home on PCs and tablets. The programme learns their maths ability and tailors the learning to each child. So if you haven’t seen Sumdog yet get your child to login at www.Sumdog.com (just remember not to help them with the answers! If you do it’ll keep giving them harder questions up to S3 level!)
Next week there is a national Sumdog contest. Let’s hope that all the great Sumdog stars at Dalry can do well there too.
Santa is VERY laid back about the list checking this year.
Sisters hard a’ crafting.
