Are you a family thinking about enrolling at Dalry Primary?
Normally we would be hosting an open day with school tours but COVID 19 restrictions still make this impossible at present.
If you do want to take a video tour of the school we can offer you 2 different ones filmed in the last year.
The first is a thorough tour led by students aimed at families as a whole.
Our Second video is a tour aimed at Nursery into P1 families and gives a tour more focused on a day in the life of a P1. This tour is available in English or Arabic.

We hope you enjoy these videos and we see you in the near future at Dalry Primary.

Are you concerned about your child watching inappropriate content online? Even if you use the browser controls to block inappropriate websites many streaming services, from Netflix to Disney + host content designed for adults and teens that would be very inappropriate for any child in our school to be viewing.
Sometimes the labels and postings may look child friendly but be anything but. The latest example we are hearing about in school is Squid Games which, with playground games and hot pastel colours the sets look at a glance like it may be a kid’s game show. But it is actually a bloodsoaked, ultra-violent, satirical drama for adults.
The streamers do flag this content with age ratings, but kids are unlikely to notice, read or respect those every time.
To protect children from viewing this content accidentally all mainstream video streaming sites have also have parental controls which just take a moment to set up. Without these switched on though your child is only a click or two away from sexually explicit, violent content and depictions of drug taking. So taking a few minutes to turn protections on is worthwhile.
We’ve linked to videos below to help you quickly set the parental controls on the most popular services.

Disney+

Here are some few photos of P7B at Bikeability. P7B had a great time at Bikeability and enjoyed showing off their new riding skills.
The first photo shows the girls doing a ‘M’ check – checking the bike is safe to ride. All pupils worked really hard and were super at supporting each other. Mrs Clements was very impressed at their determination and confidence. Thanks to Miss Low for her excellent teaching!

Some of our newly selected climate reps in P6 and P7 attended the first Edinburgh Primaries Youth Climate Summit online this week.
They discussed all the things we are doing at Dalry to be more sustainable, including recycling, learning about the environment, litter reduction and most of all our current project to grow food at the school supported by Love Gorgie Farm.
They also expressed their hopes for things that could change in school. One was that they would love to see a green electricity source, like wind or solar power installed. Another was that there be more recycling in the playground. One of the other schools pointed out that tetrapacks (especially milk and water cartons) are not always put in the recycling by the children and that tap water as an alternative would be even better.
Lots of great ideas from the children involved that will be carried forward and discussed by the council’s education team.
Our climate reps this year are
P6 Shamaillah and Hassan
P7a Aarush and Sieanna
P7b Juan and Sara
