This week the creative Arts took centre stage in P3.  We had the absolute privilege of having Barrowland Ballet lead us through the story of Icarus and Dadaelus.  Each morning we practiced the dance routine in preparation for our big performance in front of hundreds of people on Friday.

We worked individually, in pairs, in small groups and as a whole class. It was a unique opportunity to tell the world the story of how Icarus flew too close to the despite his father’s warning.

By telling the story through movement, it took away any language barriers, helping everyone to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment.  This is something we really hope to achieve in P3.

A massive thanks to Dawn and Jade from Barrowland Ballet who supported throughout the week.

 

 

However, our creative talents didn’t end there.  in fact it not gave us the thirst for more!

At the Burns’ Assembly we combined forces with P3/2 to sing “Donald, Where’s Yir Troosers”.  On a personal note I have to admit I was full of pride for each and every one of the pupils, they were a tremendous credit to the school.  Thanks to all the parents and family members for their support and attendance at the performance.

Our final art input of the week was to design our own tartan kilts, here are some examples of the tartans we created.
