Burns Competition

Burns

On Friday, 12 pupils from Cardross Primary went to a Burns Competition at Hermitage Academy. To qualify for the competition, you had to be the winner of your class competition for either the poem or song and be in P4-P7. I was the class winner in the song competition and Laura won the P7b competition so we both got to go. There was four other schools there and they were all very talented. The schools were Garelochhead, Rhu and Colgrain. Colgrain and Garelochhead were just doing the poem but Rhu and Cardross did the song and poem. The Rhu children were great and in their song they had some hilarious words and I can’t even remember them. In Cardross we had a few phenomenal songs because we had five songs and four poems. All the winners were from Cardross Primary! We were over the moon to find that out! One person thought I was only a P6 and could win next year. When I told him I was actually P7 he said that they should hold me back a year.

Christmas Ceilidh

On Monday 14th both p7 classes and p6 all got dressed up for a fun filled ceilidh. The ceilidh started at 7:00 and ended at 9:00. We all enjoyed dancing things like the Dashing White Sergeant and the Canadian Barn Dance. As well as that we also had a live band to play the music. Then we stopped for food and played some pop tunes while we ate. We were all allowed to take 5 things each and then if there were extras you were allowed to get seconds. If you didn’t want seconds you could dance with your pals while you waited for the band to finish their well-earned break. While the band were getting ready to play the second half of the evening, everyone got up and did dances like 5,6,7,8 and the Macarena. At the second half of the night we did Strip the Willow, The Flying Scotsman and some other group dances, even the teachers got involved with the dances. This was sadly the last Christmas ceilidh for the p7 pupils and I think I can speak for all of us… We wish it wasn’t our last and we would like to say thank you to everyone who organised the wonderful event!

The Dorian Choir Event

On Friday the 14th of December the Dorian Choir invited Cardross Primary School choir to sing at half time at their concert. The event took place in Helensburgh at the United Reform Church.  The songs that we sung were very touching and enjoyable. I had to sing a solo I was very nervous.  Mrs Davis and Mrs Ridland told us they were really proud and that all our hard work paid off. We all really enjoyed seeing the Dorian choir perform, they were amazing. I really liked the lady on the trumpet, she was very good. And ever since that we all feel very confident and proud of ourselves!
