Dalry Primary 4/5/6

As you can see from the photographs P4 & 5 had a great time at the Wigtown Writers’ Festival. They heard three different authors reading from their books and were able to ask them questions about their work and what had inspired them to become writers. P 6 went to Wigtown to hear different authors - unfortunately they were so busy having fun they didn’t take any photos!

This term we have been have lots of fun solving problems. Our topic is based on Professor Layton’s curious village and the class had to work their way round the village solving lots of different problems as they went. It has been so popular that some of the P6s have started working on  Prosfessor Layton and Pandora’s box. In the pictures you can see some examples of the different types of problems we have been looking at.

Miss Nicol came to school to help out in our class and look after her mother! She had a great time working with everyone and especially enjoyed P6’s project on the Rats of Nimh.

John Wheeler came to our school to tell us some stories, which we enjoyed.

 Everyone has been enjoying out skating lessons with friends from Kells and Carsphairn schools at Dumfries Ice Bowl and improving each week.

Every Wednesday S4 pupils come to our class to read with our pupils. as you can see from the photographs primary and secondary pupils are working very well together.

Lewis won this award for good sportsmanship playing hockey at his sports club.

P6 are learning yet another new talent, bowling. Here they are at lesson number one. Thanks to Hamish and Dalry Bowling club for all their help.

Training for Dalry football team has begun again, as you can see we have a talented bunch to choose from. Good luck to everyone.

As  if coming to Dalry School wasn’t enough fun already we have now introduced Wednesday Afternoon Activities. Everyone in the Primary was given the choice of six different activities: cookery, drama, dancing, photography, golf and craft. All the activities have a Scottish theme in line with the year of Homecoming. Thanks to our parent helpers who have volunteered to join in the fun.
