Whalsay Assembly

World War 2

Class Whalsay led our assembly this week.

They invited their parents and family into school to watch their showcase.

They had prepared a presentation highlighting some of their recent topic work, World War 2.

They used the internet to  research information, collect photographs and they also visited a museum looking at lots of artefacts from the war.

The highlight of their assembly was a small drama piece all about the war. They dressed up as a charachter, sang songs and performed a dance.

Miss O’Brien took some video footage and Miss McMillan and Mrs Reed will show it to the class next week and use this as evidence for their achievement folders.

Have a look at some of our photographs below.

Gardening @ Ims

Gardening @ IMS

Classes Islay, Skye, Tiree and Whalsay have had a very productive morning, working in the sensory garden.
 
We were planting different flowers to make the garden more colourful. Lots of skills involved for the pupils and gave them a great sense of achievement.
 
All the hard work and digging was worth it, our sensory garden looks great although is a work in progress.

Community Unity………. “Harmony”

Harmony by Community Unity

What an amazing performance from the pupils involved in the drama performance of “Harmony”

This drama performance incorporated pupils from St Cadoc’s, Crookfur and Isobel Mair school who come together on a regular basis as part of their Community Unity Partnership.

Last nights performance was produced and directed by Pace Theatre school who worked with the three schools and then they all came together for 2 full day rehearsals culminating in last nights amazing performance.

Please read below the comments sent in today from one of our parents Mr Tunde Cockshott………

“Tonight was fantastic. It was a great pleasure in so many ways. The show, the way the children performed, the concept and the Inclusion. Of course Ruby was the star, but everyone played their part.
It’s so inspiring to see the school, the community working together on projects like this. It demonstrated true, deep inclusion, able bodied, special needs, religion.
As I walked Ruby out of the hall where the children had gathered, she was like a presedential candidate, glad handling everyone, every child and adult she passed. Greeting them all and smiling, and they were smiling back. They all seemed to know her by name. This is true inclusion and a benefit to all those involved.

A great evening.
Please send my thanks to everyone involved”.
