Primary 6 embarked on a very exciting project yesterday afternoon with the inspirational support of Chinan, a professional dancer all the way from Nepal. Many of the children weren’t overly excited when they first heard about the dance project. However, the boys and girls had a fantastic afternoon and really impressed Chinan (and themselves!) with what they achieved in such a short space of time.

Chinan will work with Primary 6 every Wednesday afternoon for the next few months and, later in the term, the children will also work alongside pupils from Buchanan High School. The project will culminate in a large-scale performance in Motherwell Concert Hall in May along with a number of other schools. Last year there were sixteen schools involved in what was the sixth year of the Summer Arts Festival.

This is a great opportunity for St Bartholomew’s pupils to develop and share their talents. Well done, Primary 6, for getting off to such an impressive start! I’m really proud of you!
