Primary Dance Festival

This evening, Boclair Academy welcomed pupils, staff and parents from our cluster Primary Schools to perform at the Primary Dance Festival.

Well done to all pupils who performed at this event. It was clear how hard you have worked on your routines and you all performed with confidence and enthusiasm.

Well done also to our S4 and S5 dancers who performed their own choreography. You are excellent role models to our younger pupils.

Finally, thank you to our pupils who helped with music and lighting, and also to our dance leaders who did an excellent job of introducing all of our performances.

We hope that all of our visitors enjoyed their evening.

Literacy and Media

S3 and S4 media students had the opportunity to develop their media literacy skills last week when they attended a screening of sci-fi drama ‘Arrival’ at the Odeon Quay cinema as part of the Into Film Festival.

S4 students were also working on developing their speaking skills in media last week. Taking on the role of director, they delivered persuasive presentations about how their films met the needs of their target audiences and demonstrated their knowledge of different aspects of film language.

 

Health and Well-being Council

The Health & Well-being Council met for the second time this week. Working in groups, pupils have been looking at the SHANARRI wheel and creating definitions for each of the eight well-being indicators.

Over the next few weeks, the group will look into how they can share their new definitions with other pupils, parents and staff.

Thanks to the Health and Well-being Council for their amazing contributions so far.
