The newly formed Pupil Equalities group met for the first time. Their first task is to read and review some books that we have ordered in to improve the diversity of the books we are using in school. The children will decide which year groups the titles are most suited to, and how they should be used in school. Eilish, Archie, Saanvi, Prigya, Nate, Zenab, Mindy, Nell and Sam are all very enthusiastic about their new role in school and have lots of great ideas to develop the curriculum at Dalry.

Our new JRSOs have started the job by performing an official survey for Sustrans on how we all get to school.
JRSOs are Junior Road Safety Officers and ours are Abhyuday and Trissha for this school year. Their task is to support road safety in school and to also encourage safe and environmentally friendly journeys to school.
Look out for the national results of the survey they contributed to in the press in coming weeks.

P2/3 have enjoyed working together to create a giant reproduction of van Gogh’s “Starry Starry Night” painting. The children used paper and oil pastels to create different textures and I’m sure you’ll agree, the result is impressive! We have been learning all about Van Gogh, his life and his painting style.

P1b had a great trip to Gorgie Farm on Thursday and managed to miss the rain! We enjoyed learning about the fruit and vegetables that grow there, playing a game and seeing the animals.

Ahead of the autumn parent consultations, and with particular thought to our P1 families and other new starts, here are both some general guides to using teams/365 which we made during the 2 lockdowns, along with a troubleshooting guide to dealing with signing in and password issues.
The digital learning team have changed the look of their website today (30/09/21). The button you click is now the one circled below not the learner’s login shown in the video.
Troubleshooting Teams Login
Here are some of the most common sign in issues to help with quick trouble shooting.
WONKY FONT ISSUES WITH PASSWORDS The font on the sign in sheet is outside our control and sadly has some confusing type issues.
First up it prints lower case letter L almost exactly the same as a number 1. There are two ways to spot this. Firstly the lower case L has a serif at the top which sticks out straight to the left, a right angle, while the 1 has the slightest of angles downwards.
Another classic issue is the confusion of letter o or O with the number 0.
To help spot these issues please be aware the format of the passwords is 6 letters (always including a single capital) followed by up to 2 numbers. So for example if your 1 is in the first 6 characters it’s actually a lower case L.
EMAIL ISSUES The default sign in sheets print out an email formatted 12345678@schools.edin.org (or similar). This is out of date for signing into the system but again outside the school’s control. Instead check you are using the format 12345678@ea.edin.sch.uk where needed. We have now got stickers or simple pen crossing out that should have corrected this.
MIXING UP EMAILS AND USERNAMES This is hard to explain in writing but essentially the “username” can either be the email as described above or just the number part. The video linked above should make this clearer.
