SPLASHING FUN AT DALRY SWIM CENTRE
The children, parents and staff had great fun in the pool at Dalry Swim Centre on Thursday 10th May and Thursday 17th May.
For some children it was their very first time swimming. Everyone really enjoyed playing with the toys and floats and learning to kick our legs and move our arms in the water at the same time. There are several Swim Centres in the city run by Edinburgh Leisure. The summer holiday is a great time to book swimming lessons and help your child to develop their swimming skills.
Ramadan Mubarak!
Ramadan Mubarak to all of our Muslim students, staff and families.
For those children observing Ramadan that wish to pray at lunchtimes a space will be put aside daily, supervised by Mrs Ahmed.
Ramadan kareem!
Gorgie Farm trip for the Nursery
The nursery enjoyed the arrival of Spring at Gorgie Farm. We saw goats, ducks, sheep, and lots of pigs and chickens! We even bought chicken eggs and made them into egg sandwiches for our snack the next day. A BIG ‘Thank You’ to all the parents who helped us make this trip and made it such a great day out.
The farm is a great place for families to visit and is just 10 minutes from the school, along Gorgie Road. Their lovely café is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
P5 Violinists
Our P5 violinists are doing great work in their lessons.
Their persistence and practice is really paying off and they are starting to use musical notation.
Well done and keep bowing!
Nursery Star and a Wish Evaluation

Pupil Council Meeting Easter 2018
Just before the Easter break the pupil council met to discuss a range of issues icluding assemblies and reading areas.
The children all agreed that they would like changes to assemblies. We will continue to have whole school assemblies for sharing learning class assemblies as they really like this, but the building resilience introduction assemblies will be split into age groups. Sharing assemblies for building resilience will still be whole school and we can review this after the next one.
Clan points and certificates will be given out at either stage or whole school assemblies, as the council felt the children were really engaged with this, and also the weekly tea party for Pupil of the Week.
BIg SIng will also change this term as the younger children in particular said they find this a really noisy and unpleasant experience.
The plans for developing a new reading corner in each class sound exciting and the children all reported back with a wee progress update to hear what each class is doing. They are all very enthused with this project.
The two big areas that Pupil Council want to focus on this term are litter in the playground and the toilets.
