Non-uniform day fundraising for Haiti.

 

Everyone in Dalry School joined in the non-uniform day to raise funds for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Lewis in P5 suggested that we have a fundraiser for the victims of the earthquake.Everyone in the class researched information about the effects of the earthquake in Haiti and three groups put forward their presentations to Mr Simpson to ask if we could raise funds to send to the survivors. They obviously did well as Mr Simpson was so impressed he agreed to let us organise the day. To get even more cash to send we baked and sold cakes and Lorna made one of her delicious chocolate cakes to raffle off. Thanks to Miss Trantor and her team, Mrs McClelland, Mrs Green & Mrs Porteous helped with baking. We sold out of cakes and made £282.11.  As if that was not brilliant enough Mrs Porteous won Lorna’s cake and shared it with everyone in the primary. Thanks to everyone who came, spent and ate!!!!

Baking for Haiti

Miss Trantor helped some of our class to bake cakes to sell at the school’s non-uniform day in aid of the Haiti appeal. As you can see everyone worked very hard to create delicious flapjacks and cup cakes. These cakes were sold to staff and pupils from primary and secondary classes and raised over £100. What a fantastic job team! Thanks to our expert baker, Miss Trantor and everyone who came and munched their way through the morning.

Christmas Fun

Don’t we clean up well?

Roman villas

Despite the recession we have been hard at work building houses as part of our Roman topic.

Rugby

We had two rugby taster sessions. Who cares about the weather when we can have this much fun?

A Christmas Carol

Today Dalry school hosted a performance of Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ . Both Crasphairn and Kells Primary schools also attended the performance and it was a very exciting and enjoyable cluster event. All three school took an active part in the pantomime and the children are definitely in good voice this year. Theo became part of the cast for the afternoon and played the part of young Scrooge. He performed very well and clearly threw himself into his role as you can see from these photographs. Today is also Theo’s birthday so from the whole school we wish you a very happy birthday Theo.

P4/5/6/performed ‘Christmas Bells’ at this year’s show. Don’t they look angelic? – funny how many children are suddenly wonderful  just before Christmas!!!

Roman Mosaics

We made these super Roman mosaics in art with Mrs Mackinnon. We hope you like them as much as we enjoyed designing and creating them.

Christmas coffee morning

Dalry primary School held their annual Christmas coffee morning today. As usual the response from the community was fantastic. In the photographs you can see many familiar faces hard at work helping or hard at work socialising – all raising money for our super wee school. Special thanks to Mr & Mrs Offin who organise the raffle and Kate Kirkpatrick who yet again provided masses of delicious baking (tested by P4/5/6 and rated first class). It is a few years since her youngest son Andrew left primary and Kate is still feeding us!! Thanks to everyone else who came and spent their money or sent in raffle prizes, books, baking and bric a brac. What a fantastic time we all had.
