Dalry Secondary School – Dumfries and Galloway
Le Café – une pièce de théâtre
Nous sommes allés voir une pièce de théâtre au lycée de Castle Douglas, qui s’appelle “Le Café”. Il y avait seulement deux acteurs, qui jouaient beaucoup de rôles différents. C’était quelque chose de différent… c’était drôle, très amusant et utile pour le français.
It has been a very busy term in the Art and Design Department.
S1 have been designing and making Venetian Masks. See their exciting designs in gold, silver, black and white below. 
S2 pupils have been improving their observational drawing skills and have started designing a Chang style piece of body adornment. Look out for photos of their 3d design pieces at the end of November.
S3 pupils have been working on their graphic design skills creating a design for a skateboard based on the theme of “Zoo York”.
In S4 pupils have been working on their design folios for National 5. Look out for the photos of their striking final outcomes at the end of November. Below are photos of pupils 3d paper models. 
P5/6/7 have been busy designing and making bright, colourful and eye-catching Carnival Masks to link with their class theme Rio 2016.
Dalry School would like to thank Mr Paul Goodwin for his generous gift of two lovely apple trees which are now settling into the school garden. These are old Galloway varieties and we hope to care for them and keep these special tastes and colours of fruit growing in the area.
S2 have been working on a unit about World Music. We researched topics of our choice and produced individual powerpoints, which we then presented to the class. We learned several keywords which are featured concepts in Nat 3, 4,and 5 music.
Reggae, Latin American Music, Salsa, Samba, Panpipes,Indian Music, Sitar, Tabla, African Music, Castanets, Bongo Drums.
We learned how to embed a whole piece or extract of music into our powerpoints and Mr Goodwin came to show us how to find copyright free music and how to use audacity to select parts of the music and save them as an MP3 file.
We have removed all the music for copyright reasons before adding them to the blog.
