Room on the Broom

Room on the Broom 

Well done to classes Orkney and Staffa who have just performed their drama performance of Room on the Broom to some of the children from the Family Centre and pupils from Class Iona. This was their second performance as the first performance took place in our outdoor atrium as part of our outdoor learning week.

A great performance from all the children involved with lots of new skills being acquired, especially performing infront of an audience.
Pupils from Class Staffa were the characters from the story and the pupils from Class Orkney were magnificent with the voice overs and special effects.

A short video was made of the performance and you can see some of the photgraphs below.

Eco Challenge

Secret Eco Challenge

What a busy week all the classes have had working on their secret challenge linked to Eco Week.

Each class worked on differentiated activivities to create their fiction/non fiction book.

We had a show and tell during  assembly so that everyone could have a look at the books that had been created and then each class described their book to rest of the school and children from the Family Centre. Two of our pupils, Gemma and Dylan explained all about the book they made in their class.

All classes  embraced the Eco topic challenge and incorporated it into CfE. Some of the classes created Clicker strories about recycling, Classes Arran  and Sanda created sensory stories and some classes created 3d models using junk.

Have a look at some of the amazing photgraphs below.

SenoryO

A magical experience through the senses

Some of our pupils had a wondeful sensory experience yesterday.

We were delighted to welcome Scottish Opera and their exciting SensoryO performance to the pupils.

Set in a magical, night-time world where anything is possible, SensoryO took the pupils  on a train ride through the jungle to meet a friendly lion who sleeps under the stars. Rich in sound, rhythm and music, the show introduced everyone to a live performance in a fun, engaging environment.

The set is inviting and tactile and the show features a mix of live and recorded vocals and exciting percussive sounds to inspire the imagination and bring the adventure to life.

Have a look at some of our photographs below that highlights how engaging our pupils were during the sensory performance.
