NMS – Methilhill Primary and Community School

Leave a comment

Early Years and Primary School pupils from three Local authority areas have been working with National Museums Scotland in an innovative project to create new resources to be used at other schools.

On 2 February 2012 the National Museums of Scotland Community Engagement team ran an open day at Methilhill Primary and Community School; giving pupils an opportunity to show off their work to other pupils in the school, their parents and wider families.

‘Museum2Go’has resulted in four new loans boxes and a mobile discovery dome, to be unveiled for the first time together at the National Museum of Scotland’s Learning Centre on Friday 18 May.  There will be an exhibition designed by the pupils, films where the pupils explain what the project has meant to them and a performance piece developed in partnership with YDance and Chief Sulemen Chebe
From giant creepy-crawlies to eye make-up pots covered in goats’ skin, rain sticks to a whole cheetah skin, pupils picked their topics and objects, inspired by the new National Museum of Scotland galleries which opened in July 2011.

Wee Stories- A Dream on Midsummer’s Night

Leave a comment

A version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare

Touring to Fife schools Monday 24 – Thursday 27 September 2012

If you go down to the woods tonight, you’re in for a big surprise!

The course of true love never did run smooth: a strict father and his headstrong daughter; star-crossed lovers and quarrelling fairies; mischievous imps, supernatural spells and people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wee Stories’ re-telling of Shakespeare’s fabulous fairy-tale will be an entertaining, inventive and delightfully confusing experience for anyone aged 10+

With this slimmed-down, but not dumbed-down version of the play, we aim to inspire young people in schools with the power and the passion of the work of William Shakespeare.  The piece will enrich learning by bringing professional theatre into school, inspiring children to express their own creativity, and helping them to understand how a classic text can be adapted to speak to a contemporary audience.

‘Wee Stories have earned a reputation not only as the best children’s theatre company in Scotland, but also as one of the very best companies in any genre.’  Daily Telegraph
