Primary 4s have learnt about different types of brazilian music such as maracato and watched this You Tube clip; Maracatu Nacao Pernambuco
They are learning a dance called the Ciranda; Ciranda dance
They also listened to “coco” music.
They have also been enjoying singing traditional scottish songs with Keith Cockburn.Three Craws
They are hoping to be able to perform their songs and dances to the school when they have finished their workshops.
Some classes have been sharing what they have been doing this term with the school at assembly.
Last week P7 told the school about their WW2 project. They showed models they had made of gas masks and Anderson Shelters. Everyone carried their own gas mask in a box in case of a gas attack. Some pets even had gas masks.They explained how every child who was evacuated had to wear a label saying who they were and where they came from.
We heard the noise of the siren that warned people about an air raid, telling them to hurry to their anderson shelter.
Then p4c recited their amusing poems that they wrote for Roald Dahl day. They were based on nursery rhymes and were very silly! We enjoyed listening to them.
Parents evening takes place on October 3rd and 4th. Parents and carers will have a chance to discuss how the children have settled into their new classes with their teachers and to look at their work so far. The book fair will be there with a interesting collection and the money that we get will go towards school funds. There will also be a Fairtrade Stall. P6s and 7s will be selling coffee, tea, chocolate and lots more.
There will also be chance to look through lost property and see if any lost items can be reunited with their owners.
