Osiligi Maasai Warriors

Gallery

Last year, Miss Rangeley and P5/6 studied Africa. The pupils wanted to know more about African tribal culture so Miss Rangeley and Mrs McCulloch organised a surprise visit for this session…

All of the pupils from the school and nursery were treated to an absolutely amazing performance of singing and dancing this afternoon, courteset of the Osiligi Maasai Warriors, who had travelled all the way from Kenya!

The children learned about the Massai way of life, and about the meanings of the different, amazing songs they performed.

Check out our Twitter feed for a short video clip of the men from the tribe showing us how they used to hunt lions!

This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our children. What an afternoon!

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

Gallery

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

Our pupils and guests had a real treat at school this morning, as P4/5 and Mrs Rodman presented an incredible assembly, all about Vikings!

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
  • News report

All while really looking the part in some amazing costumes!

We would like to say a huge congratulations to P4/5 and Mr Rodman – we think it was one of the best assemblies we have ever had at Rochsolloch!

Thank you so much to our audience, parents and guests who came along – for your lovely comments and for supporting the children with their terrific costumes and super homework projects.
