Humph the Camel!

Post date December 20, 2017

Over the past couple of months, our P1-P3 children and teachers have been working round the clock to prepare a wonderful Christmas show – Humph the Camel! Having performed a dress-rehearsal for school pupils yesterday, our little stars took to the stage to put on a fantastic showcase of acting, singing and dancing for parents and friends this morning.

The show was a huge success and our children and staff are looking forward to taking to the stage again at 6.30pm tonight for their evening performance! The morning performance was wonderful, and we are so proud of our Rochsolloch family today.

Our show has been filmed this year, and DVDs can be purchased from the school, at a cost of £5. DVDs will be ready in early January.

Our resident photographer, Mrs Cochrane, has taken these terrific snaps!

P3/4 Titanic Assembly

Yesterday, P3/4 presented a terrific assembly, all about The Titanic.

The rain was so heavy that some of our guests may have needed a boat to get to the performance…but the hall was as busy as ever and the children did themselves proud as they wowed us with all of the knowledge they have built during their topic studies.

During the performance, we saw and heard about:

The five BIG QUESTIONS the class investigated
Some terrific folk dancing
Interesting information about the boat and its cabins
Two beautiful songs
Some absolutely incredible costumes
Confident speaking

We would like to say a huge well done to P3/4 and Miss Allan for presenting such an interesting and unique assembly! Thanks also to parents and carers for turning the children out so magnificently in their uniforms and costumes, and for helping the pupils with the wonderful homework projects they produced!

Last night our pupils performed a wonderful rock concert in front of a jam-packed audience in New Wellwynd Church! Capping off the end of the Rookie Rockstars experience, our young rockers sang and danced their hearts out, amazing the crowd with their confidence and with the quality of their performance!

Take a look at the gallery and check out the fun our pupils had rocking out!

This really has been an amazing experience for our pupils, who have loved every minute of it.

Scottish Assembly

As you will know, our pupils have recently been learning Scots poetry in class and at home as part of our annual Scottish Verse Speaking Competition. Today, we held our Scottish Assembly, where our pupils who had finished 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd in their class were presented with certificates in front of the whole school and invited guests.

Our competition winners performed their poems on stage to a jam-packed gym hall, and they were absolutely superb. Following the wonderful poetry recital, we were treated to a highland sword dance by two of our pupils, which was spectacular!

Congratulations to all of our winner, and to every pupil who competed in our Verse Speaking Competition – the standard of the performances was higher than ever!

Many thanks as well to all of our families who supported their children at home, taking the time to practice and get all of those tricky words just right!

This morning at assembly time, our pupils were met with a wonderful surprise! Instead of our normal Wednesday assembly, the boys and girls from P1-P7 got together with the children from All Saints Primary to enjoy a magical, hilarious performance of Cinderella!

What a terrific way for our campus family to start the New Year together…

Oh yes it was!

Lights, Camel…Action!

Post date December 14, 2016

This morning our hall was filled to the brim with parents, grandparents, relatives and friends who had all come along to see the shining stars of Primary 1 as they presented: Lights, Camel, Action!

The children presented the traditional Christmas story in a very modern way, where each group of characters from the story performed a dance to help tell their part! We saw some lovely line-dancing, some terrific tango, some beautiful ballet, fabulous funk, delightful disco and heard some spectacular singing!

Watching the children on stage is always a privilege and for our P1 pupils, it shows just how far they have come since starting school. Their speaking, singing, dancing and overall confidence was terrific to see.

The whole performance was incredible, and I’m sure everyone who was lucky enough to be in the audience would agree: FAB – U – LOUS!!!

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff who worked tirelessly to make this performance happen, and of course to the pupils of P2, P7 and the School Choir for their involvement in the show!

The performances from today and from yesterday’s dress rehearsal have been filmed and will soon be made into a DVD for our audience to relive the experience, or for those who were unable to come along on the day!
