The Rochsolloch Primary School Choir were out in the local community again today, this time spreading Christmas cheer to the residents of Broomfield Gardens Sheltered Housing in Gartlea.

The children set themselves up in the Hobbies room and performed some festive tunes for the residents and staff, with many of them clapping, dancing along and even joining in with some of the singing!

Mr Innes would like to congratulate the children for doing such a wonderful job yet again, and he would also like to thank Mrs Morrison and Miss Kane for accompanying the children today. Our support staff and parent helpers play such an important role in ensuring our children get to take part in these wonderful experiences.

The Choir will now finish preparing to sing at the Christmas Service, before moving on to some new songs for the new year!

Choir in the Community

The Rochsolloch Primary School Choir were out in the local community today, performing a half hour set at Airdrie Tesco.

A crowd of parents, grandparents, friends of the school, and members of the public soon gathered and the audience were thoroughly entertained by a mixture of modern pop songs and Christmas songs.

Mr Innes, Miss Duncan and Mrs McLean were so proud of the way the children sang and represented our school in the local area. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Thank you so much to everyone who was able to come along and watch and help make this a memorable and special experience for our young singers!

To celebrate the last Choir Club day of the 2015/16 session, the I.C.T. Suite was turned into a recording studio, with a little help from Mr Innes Snr! The boys and girls recorded a few of their favourite songs from the year and got a little taste of what it would be like to be a recording artist…it was harder work than you might imagine!

Over the next few weeks, Mr Innes (junior and senior!) will be working on mixing a little record, showcasing six months of hard work from our singers, which will be presented to the pupils as a gift early in the new term.

Boys and girls, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you all this year. I’m already looking forward to making the Choir better than ever next year, with your help of course! – Mr Innes

Out and About!

Our School Choir, along with the winners of our recent Scots Verse Speaking Competition visited the retirement and sheltered housing at Gartlea Gardens. Our talented young performers put on a short show of poetry recital and singing for the residents and staff, who were amazed at the confidence of our children.

This was a wonderful experience for our pupils and the residents at Gartlea Garden really enjoyed playing host on Thursday afternoon. It is always great to be able to take our pupils into the community and the boys and girls always represent in our school in such a positive way.

We are all really proud of you boys and girls.
