Nursery to P1 Transition Video (Arabic Edition)

Leave a reply

Here is a link to view our Nursery to P1 video with an Arabic voice over provided by Ghazal in P7.

We had hoped to provide more translated voice overs in different languages but the production process has proved slow, quite difficult and a far larger time demand on our P7s than expected.

As a result this will be the only translation we are able to make.

A big thank you again to Ghazal for all her hard work on this.

P2 Outdoor Fractions

Leave a reply

P2 took advantage of the sun this week and did our fractions work outside in the playground. We had to work cooperatively with our partners to make our fraction dice then we used these to play a game call ‘Roll a Fraction.’ The winner was the person who got 5 correct first.  Although the wind kept blowing our dice away, we still had lots of fun!

P1’s Hungry Friends

Leave a reply

Primary 1s have been busy over the last few weeks learning about the butterfly life cycle and the story of the Hungry Caterpillar. We retold the story of the Hungry Caterpillar using pictures and we drew pictures of different  insects in the playground! We have created a lovely display where we hang our jackets of the Butterfly Life Cycle. Well done P1s! 

Nursery to P1 Transition- Moving Up Talk

Leave a reply

Given COVID safety we can’t do our usual talks for families on the moving up process this year.

Instead we have the power point (with audio notes) linked below.

Hopefully any questions you have about starting P1 will be answered and you’ll learn more about the fun of starting school at Dalry.

Busy week in P1/2

Leave a reply

Another busy week in P1/2!We’ve been using our numicon in maths to park on ordering and have also started addition. 
Our caterpillars have been eating a lot and have formed cocoons. Sadly one of them died but he was buried in our playground. 
We have transferred them to our net and are keeping a close eye on them, waiting for the hatch into beautiful butterflies!
