These past 12 weeks, Wendy and Kate from Feis Ros have been coming to Kirkcolm’s upper class to teach P5-7 all about Scottish music, the children have learned a variety of Scottish songs and even a touch of Gaelic (to add a fourth language into the mix!) and the pupils have worked extremely hard and have been attentive learners in practising the tin whistle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pupils learned a variety of songs and showcased their best ones in an open afternoon where all were invited to come and see. There is no doubt the boys and girls exceeded expectations beyond belief and put on an incredible show and made us all so proud of them!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We could not extend a bigger thank you to the lovely ladies of Feis Ros for their hard work in this too, teaching the pupils such engaging and fun songs and making it all the more meaningful by explaining their origins and the meaning behind certain Scottish songs we all know and love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an early Christmas treat, the boys and girls were able to take their tin whistles home so they could continue the practise if they wish to show off to whoever is willing to listen!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well done P5-7! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
