Scottish Opera – VIDEO!
REMINDERS:
Bikeability – Remember your bikes tomorrow
Swimming – Group A – last swimming session
Yesterday, after the fantastic peformance of ‘Slim McBride and the Lost Tribe’, the video is now ready. Unfortunately, due to a technical failure we’ve lost a section of ‘chop and build’, however you’ll see an overview of the fantasic performance. Apologies for the shaky hand – Mr Cook tried to stay as still as he could. Watch the video below:

Scottish Opera
What an excellent day we had today with the Scottish Opera company. We worked hard between 10 and 12, putting together the words which we had learned with Mrs Hunter and in class, adding in the choreography and movement from the team at Scottish Opera.
After lunch we performed our dress rehearsal to the P3/4 and P4 – it was great to have a real audience for our dress rehearsal.
At 2.15pm we performed to parents/carers – and what a spectacular show it was . . . It really made us think about the rainforest, demonstrating the key messages within biodiversity and sustainability.
We’d like to thank Mrs Hunter for all her hard work when learning the songs, in addition to the team at Scottish Opera (including Roger’s visit earlier this month) for all their hard work!
Mr Cook is busy putting together the video which he filmed with a somewhat shaky hand – it should be available later on in the week . . .
See you tomorrow,
Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice

WOW-EEE!
Bravo! Bravo!
Roger was very most impressed with your singing this afternoon. Remember his advice – Don’t let a little problem grow into a big problem. If you’ve not learnt your words yet, spend some time over the next week learning them. Our final performance is on Wednesday 29th May.
Loch Insh – P7 pupils going to Loch Insh, you are reminded that you will need to bring a packed lunch for Monday, and should wear your school uniform to school. We will change when we arrive at Loch Insh.
We’ll still be collecting tinned potatoes and biscuits for the Highland Foodbank next week – any donations will be appreciated.
Have a great weekend!

Welcome Back!
Welcome back P6/7. It’s our final term altogether before the P7s depart and we gain a shiny new P7. We’ve an exciting term ahead between our Scottish Opera performance and Loch Insh (P7).
Talking of Scottish Opera… It is that time of year again. This year we’re doing ‘The Legend of Slim McBride and The Lost Tribe’. It’s going to be an excellent link to our ‘Biodiversity and Sustainability’ topic.
Let’s find tell you a bit more about our new topic…
Our Aim
Children will prepare for and organise a Summer Ecological Garden Party for the Lochardil community. At the garden party learners aim to: sell vegetables which they’ve grown in the garden, have summer snacks, sell eco-themed art work, and present on the work they’ve done in biodiversity and sustainability.
Our sub-topics and questions
| ‘We Go Eco’ What can we do to make our school more ecological? ‘Here, There, Everywhere’ ‘Plant Attack’ The skills we want to develop |
If you’ve got green-fingers, or have any knowledge or expertise on ‘Biodiversity and Sustainability’ – please feel free to give us a phone or pop in to see us; your contribution would be appreciated.
See you tomorrow,
Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice
