BBC Children in Need choir

On Friday, we had 9 pupils from the school involved in a UK wide BBC Children in Need choir performance made up of several individual choirs from across the county. BBC London cut to the Glasgow choir towards the end of the performance and, for a brief moment, the pupils were shown live on UK TV. However, on Saturday evening there was a specific BBC Scotland programme where the Glasgow choir was given a lot more airtime. I’ve included the iplayer link below. It was a fabulous experience for the pupils and a massive thanks to Shonagh for organising this and working with the pupils. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06pjldy/bbc-children-in-need-2015-scotlands-best-bits First choir performance at 19 minutes Second choir performance at 1 hour 4 minutes Written by Mr.
