Humph the Camel!

Gallery

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!

P5 World of Work Assembly

This morning, P5 presented our last class assembly of the year to pupils, parents and friends. The assembly was all about the World of Work, which has been a big focus for our P5 pupils this session. Preparing pupils for life in the real world is such an important part of the job we do at Rochsolloch Primary School!

Our P5 pupils spoke confidently about their studies in class, sharing a great deal of what they have learned about life as a working person, including the skills and qualities they might need to be successful in their chosen career.

P5, we especially enjoyed:

* Learning which jobs you’d like to do when you’re older

* Hearing your singing – which was terrific

* Watching your excellent dancing

* The Incy Wincy Spider drama song

As always, the children were a credit to their class teacher, their families, and our school. We would like to thank P5 and Mrs Munoz for putting on such an excellent performance, as well as our parents and families who helped to turn the class out in such fantastic costumes!

P2 Assembly

P2 have been working very hard this term with Mrs Harper and Mrs Paterson, practising for their class assembly.  The children looked absolutely terrific on stage dressed as a motley crew of Scottish pirates and mermaids!  They shared a huge amount of class learning with their audience, and also displayed some of their fabulous topic work in the school dining hall.

P2, we especially enjoyed:

  • Your two wonderful songs
  • Learning more about the country we live in
  • Hearing about your favourite places in Scotland
  • The Mermaid Drama
  • Learning about different languages and dialects used in Scotland
  • Finding out about some fearsome pirates!

We would like to say a big well done to our pupils and teachers for working so hard to produce their performance for us today! Thank you also to our families and friends for joining us in such large numbers – you really help to make these events special!

P6/7 Japan Assembly

This morning, P6/7 presented an excellent assembly, all about Japan!

The assembly started and ended with some perfectly spoken Japanese, and included a magnificent Japanese karaoke version of ‘Let It Go’! That’s definitely a Rochsolloch Primary School first!

The audience were transfixed on our performers as they shared with us some of the wonderful learning that has been taking place in the class in recent weeks. P6/7 have truly covered the whole curriculum through this topic, investigating everything from sport to natural disasters – even making some delicious sushi!

The way the children presented their complex spoken lines was absolutely tremendous. They did themselves proud!

Thank you so much to all of our parents, grandparents and friends who turned out to help make this a great experience for our children. Thank you also to Mr Flanigan and Miss Findlay to preparing the children so well for this wonderful showcase!

P4/5 Vikings Assembly

During the assembly the pupils shared a huge amount of knowledge and displayed wonderful skills, including:

  • Several short drama pieces
  • Clear speaking and excellent presentation skills
  • Magnificent, tuneful singing
  • Bread making demonstration

All while really looking the part in some amazing costumes!

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!

Our show was held in the assembly hall this morning, and it was definitely a big success! Our Captains and Vice-Captains did a great job of presenting the show and the talent on display was fantastic!

Our audience were wowed with some wonderful singing, dancing, music, poetry, gymnastics, art and even some impressions!

Christmas Service

Gallery

On Wednesday, we held our annual Christmas Service in the school.  Each of our classes, and the School Choir performed a range of festive songs for the audience in our packed gym hall!

As our pupils get more and more used to performing on stage, the standard of performance just gets higher and higher and higher! There was a lovely mix of traditional and modern songs: some very lively and upbeat, others slower and more reflective.

Mr Hamilton did a great job leading the service for our pupils, staff and parents, and he was ably assisted by several excellent readers from across the school.

Each and every pupil on stage did themselves, their school and their families proud.  It was a lovely way to cap off a busy and successful festive spell!

Lights, Camel…Action!

Gallery

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!
