style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Tuesday 28th August: Stephen Baron Plays Haydn<\/span><br \/>\nStephen Baron came to the school of Port Ellen primary\u00a0to tell us about Haydn a very famous composer and it was very interesting. \u00a0We played games with Stephen Baron and we danced to the music and it was very fancy and I want to do it again. My favourite part was when we played instruments with him it was very noisy.<!--more-->\u00a0And I personally think that it was a great idea that Reece (The Prince) died of old age in the acting and I was a great woodpecker.\u00a0Just as I said I think that the acting was very good\u00a0from everyone and so was the music, he could really play the piano. \u00a0We had to listen to the music and if it changed music we had to do our actions.\u00a0 Mrs Macdonald said the school piano had never been so happy!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By James and Liam<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Thursday 30th August: Port Ellen Pier Opening Ceremony<\/span><br \/>\nOn Thursday all of Port Ellen Primary was invited to the pier opening in Port Ellen. When we got there, there were a lot of people and there were some of the pipe band piping. \u00a0We also got balloons and we made our own flags to wave. \u00a0There were 3 people announcing the pier was open. \u00a0Then the choir sang at the end and that closed the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>by Robbie and Asher<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a
