We hope you all managed to catch tonight’s episode of Blue Peter to see our wonderful school choir represent Scotland in their Christmas Special.
It was so exciting to hear and see our wonderful singers in action, having the time of their lives! What an amazing opportunity for them to be part of, they really are superstars! We are so incredibly proud of you all!
In case you missed it, here are some snapshots and a recording from the show. You can also watch it again on BBC iPlayer.
We are so excited to share with you that our school choir were approached by the Blue Peter team from the BBC to perform in their Christmas special episode! (Once Mrs McNulty got over the shock of the phone call and the realisation that it was really someone from the BBC and not anyone prank calling her!) we were straight to work learning and rehearsing the song composed for the event. The song is a modern day mash up of traditional Christmas songs, and was very catchy indeed!
As we were unable to meet as a group for some time, we used Microsoft Teams to hear the track so we could sing along at home, learn the words and actions and keep in touch with Mrs McNulty until we were able to meet as a group.
A lot of work and planning from our Senior Leadership Team, East Ayrshire Health and Safety and the BBC production team went into making this opportunity possible, ensuring it was safe for everyone in the current climate and we are extremely grateful for this!
We felt like movie stars on the day and were so glad that the weather was in our favour as we had to sing outside. Our children behaved like total professionals, braving the cold weather for the entirety of our shoot and singing their hearts out at every take!
After our performance, we each received Blue Peter badges and are now the envy of all our friends and family!
Please tune in to watch us this Thursday 17th December at 5.30pm on the CBBC or CBeebies channel.
Here are some photos from the day, a big thank you to Mike, our official East Ayrshire photographer for capturing some super shots for us!
