Special Visitor

Thank You

Today we welcomed visitors Eilean Gibson, Jackie Higgins and Douglas McLaren from Scottish Power Retail, Debt Division who came to the school to present a cheque to us. The staff had a raffle prior to the Christmas holidays and the money raised was donated to the school.

Our vistitors joined us for an Experiential Sensory Story “Stig of the Dump” from classes Arran and Cumbrae. After listening to the story our visitors and pupils were encouraged to take part in activities linked to the story and recyling.

We also welcomed 4 children from the Family Centre who are members of the Eco Committee members to take part in our story and activities.

Thank You to everyone for this very kind donation.

Our Head Boy, Michael was delighted to accept the donation on our behalf.

BBC Ten Pieces

Classes Whalsay, Tiree and Jura have been working on the BBC project, Ten Pieces to inspire young people to get creatvive with classical music.

They have been learning how to make music using parts of their body and simple sounds.

Over the past two months they have composed their own piece of music which was filmed today and will be uploaded to the BBC as part of the Ten Pieces Proms.

They also created a piece of art work as part of this project.

Look out for some budding musicians in the near future!
