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!

Rock On Rochsolloch!

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.

Talent Show!

As you may know, our School and House Captains and Vice-Captains have been working really hard over the past few weeks to organise and run a school talent show.

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!

Check out the gallery below and have a look at our 13 marvellous acts, who all performed on stage this morning:

We would like to say a huge congratulations to everybody involved, with an extra special mention to our winners:

Robbie, in 3rd place, singing ‘We Will Rock You’, who has won 50 points for his house!

Alex, in 2nd place, who performed some live art with audience participation, earning 75 points for his house in the process.

Lucy and Amber, who sang beautifully and finished as joint winners…earning a whopping 100 points each for their houses!

Rookie Rockstars in the House!

As you will know, over the past few days we have been visited by the Rookie Rockstars, and have been having a blast preparing for our upcoming concert.

Our children have:

  • learned to sing rock songs with a positive message
  • learned choreographed dance moves to accompany those songs
  • designed CD covers to be used on our school recording
  • taken part in hilarious challenges, including Chubby Bunnies, a Rap Battle and Wrapping the Mummy
  • joined in with pop rock sing-a-longs
  • increased knowledge of musical terms such as chorus, pre-chorus and riff.

Have a look at the gallery below to see some serious rocking out!!!

Nursery Nativity – Professional Photographs!

On the 21st of December, both our AM and PM Nursery Class children performed a spectacular show: A Wriggly Nativity!

Everyone who came along would agree that the show was absolutely terrific. The children looked incredible in their costumes and sang their hearts out throughout the show!

After the show, our parents and guests enjoyed a mince pie and the relaxing notes of Mr Bees.  Check out our professional photographs in the gallery below.  We would again like to say a huge thank you to John Wilson Photography for providing us with such perfect snaps of our little stars in action!

Choir in the Community: Part II

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!

Lights, Camel…Action!

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!

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!
