Primary 6 children in Bowhouse PS have been thoroughly engaged with their Callendar House Performance Project “Callendar House\u2019s History Most Horrible \u2013 The Battle”. This interdisciplinary learning experience involved collaboration between their teacher Mrs Marsh, and colleagues from Falkirk Council Growth, Planning, Sport and Culture team and Illuminate UK. This project helped the children to develop knowledge and skills in drama, performance, social studies and their local heritage.<\/p>\n

The project began with an introductory visit to Callendar House and a tour which focused on the elements of the house’s history which linked with their performance script. Victoria and Keira from Illuminate then provided drama and performance skills workshops and led rehearsals with the children in their roles.\u00a0\u00a0 The children enjoyed learning about the components of a strong performance \u2013 considering voice, movement and the importance of presenting information confidently. They put lots of effort into learning their lines (with the support of family and friends).\u00a0 This creative project-based learning experience came together in a performance for guests and families. The following feedback from some of the children captures the value and impact of this collaboration for learning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Callendar House was great and very posh!\u00a0 It\u2019s a very big house and there was lots of luxury things to see.\u00a0 They showed us a model of how much the house has grown from the olden days.\u00a0 We like the games we play before we go on stage, especially \u2018Zip, Zap, Boom\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s so much fun<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Haylee and Lilymay<\/p>\n

What we liked about the visit to Callendar House was that it was very interesting.\u00a0 We have been so many times but never knew the story and now we do.\u00a0 Victoria and Keira are very helpful with learning our script and giving us ideas to make our acting better.<\/em><\/p>\n

Charlotte and Lily<\/p>\n

The visit to Callendar House was good and we got to see lots of exhibits.\u00a0 Our favourite part was the story of Mary Queen of Scots. We learned so much!\u00a0 The warmup games are fun!\u00a0 We are really enjoying our acting experience and our coaches, Victoria and Keira, are funny and nice!<\/em><\/p>\n

Rosie and Jack<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We walked around Callander House and played some games after the tour.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good place to visit!\u00a0 We were given parts and a script and practised our roles until the end of the day.\u00a0 I\u2019m a judge, Robbie is a soldier and Oscar is a servant.\u00a0 We were shown how to act out our characters before we practised on stage.\u00a0 It\u2019s great fun!<\/em><\/p>\n
