Epic Encounters UK Tour

Today we welcomed Lynda Payne our dance specialist and  a group of Cambodian dancers to the school.The group are all part of the Epic Encounters UK Tour.
Epic Encounters is a group of talented dance and theatre performers from Cambodia. Consisting of hearing impaired, disabled and non-disabled performers, they are the first and only fully inclusive dance company in South East Asia.

They worked with pupils from Classes Tiree, Whalsay, Orkney and Shetland. They worked in groups and explored movement exercises to encourage teamwork, develop confidence and inspire creativity. All great fun!

Interactive Activity Wall

 Interactive Wall

 

We are delighted to finally have our Interactive Activity Wall in school. This was purchased through a bid from Awards for All.

Some of our senior students got to try it out this morning and had great fun.

They decided on a matching game and took in in turns to watch and time each other.  At the end of the session they were able to evaluate who had the best score.

The interactive wall will help motivate our pupils to get moving and become more active, improve their hand eye coordination, strength, and endurance while playing fun interactive games.
