Many thanks to the 4 students, Jen, Joe, Sharon and Hannah from Royal Conservatoire Scotland for working with pupils from Class Tiree.
The pupils gained so much from the workshops and
the performances. They had a great time forming friendships
and exploring the theme of ‘finding your voice’; finding who you
are and being proud of it.
The session finished today with two performances to staff
and pupils from school and also to some of the students from the Royal Conservatoire course.

Class Arran invited their parents and Grandparents into school for their “Tiger who came to Tea” performance.
They had listened to the story, created a 3d scene during art work and decided on some sound effects.
All the pupils had a part to play in the story and
enthusiastically performed in front of an audience.
Sean played the part of the tiger with our volunteer Phil and smiled all the way through at his antics.
They used their switches to activate the sound effects.
Rob especially loved the door bell effect.
Peter worked hard on some picture and word matching activities.
The pupils from ISS @ IMS supported the class and helped
to prepare a tea party afterwards. They made some biscuits
and helped to serve the teas and coffee.

They have produced some tailored information for parents, as part of the successful “in a nutshell” series, which covers the new Careers Education Standard launched at SLF 2015. This new nutshell will supply parents with basic information about the initial role of this programme in schools and signpost them to where they can get some more information if they need it.
