Musical Assembly

The whole school enjoyed a musical assembly on the last day of term.

The orchestra played as the classes came in, and also played a fsongs that they have been learnins during the assembly. Children (and staff)  particularly enjoyed the clashing cymbals during their rendition of Greigs “Hall of the Mountain King”.

Next we all enjoyed listening to P5 singing Scottish songs with Keith Cockburn, accompanied by Pam Cockburn on fiddle. They sang Ye Jacobites by Name and the Skye Boat Song,  and then finished off with Murder in the Chipshop.

More music followed with the choir singing for us. Among the songs were Alexanders Ragtime band and Annies song.

Orchestra Concert

On Monday the Orchestra had a concert for parents, teachers and family. Mrs Mcintosh, Mrs Innes, Mr Scrimshaw and Miss Barrere and pupils were playing.

The songs we played were Air on the G string, Chariots of fire, Pure e` Gent and the Water Music.

The instruments in it was Violins, Pianos, Trumpets, Flutes, Trumpets, Chellos and CYMBOLS. We used the cymbols for the puer e` gent.

On Thursday they will hold their own assembly for the School.

Church Service

We were all very lucky that the Church Service went ahead, as the Minister came to our school, instead of us going to the church (as it was far too wet!!)

We sung Come and Join the Celebration, Rock a Little Baby, Children all Over the World and Away in a Manger. We also prayed to thank Jesus for Christmas and a few of the P7s read the Christmas Story.

The Orchestra also played them a tune, which they all enjoyed.

Christmas Carol Orchestra Concert

Recently there was a School Orchestra Christmas Carol Concert. The Orchestra enjoyed it as much as the audience. There were violins, a cello, a flute, a clarinet, trumpets, a trombone and a piano.

Here are all the songs they played below –

Deck the Hall, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, St Anthony Chorale ( not a Christmas carol but very nice). Good King Wenceslas, Away in a Manger and Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

The Orchestra is also going to be playing at the church on Friday.
