All our classes, who had been working hard over the last month to research an aspect of the 1960’s and come up with a performance, performed their Magical History Tour to family and friends on Friday 15th June.

Every class performed and performances took place outdoors within the school grounds and at various locations within Gordon Park. The event began with Ellon Pipe Band playing as the audience arrived to watch the P5 class, dressed in animal costumes, reenact the farm animal parades that took place in the 1960’s as part of Ellon Agricultural Show. The audience was then moved onto an underwater scene where the P2 class performed an octopus dance around a huge model octopus to the Beatles song Octopus’s Garden. From there onto a civil rights demonstration being held by out P6 class. The promenade performance involved the audience moving around the outside spaces from one class performance to another ending up at marquees in Gordon Park. A large birthday cake was wheeled into the arena and the children and audience sang Happy Birthday Ellon Primary School. We then all enjoyed birthday cake and juice in the marquees before returning to school.

It was lovely to welcome former members of staff to the event. They enjoyed getting together and reminiscing about old times.

We were delighted with the support from families and friends demonstrated in the huge turn out on Friday afternoon. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Golden Jubilee event we really appreciate your support.

Here are a few photographs of the day there will be more to follow soon.
