The Christmas Nativity

After two months of hard work, the children performed their nativity, The Christmas Recipe!

They worked hard to learn their songs, words, dances, stage directions and to speak loudly and clearly in front of a large audience. There were also a few changes of costumes to play different characters. Before the performance the children also helped to paint pictures and signs to decorate the stage.

Well done children! Your hard work certainly paid off on the night!

The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch

The children were joined today by our visiting Specialists.

This included Mrs McGaffney for Music, Mrs Bennett for Drama and Miss Mailer for Art.

In the morning Miss Mailer built marvellous lighthouses with the children and showed them the easy way to draw seagulls.

Mrs McGaffney used the Ipads with the children. They put sounds to pictures using musical instruments and their voices and then recorded these on the Ipads. These were then demonstrated to the children on the smartboard.

In the afternoon, the children made still pictures and used mime for different scenes of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch story.

Thank you all our specialists who came today and made the day so enjoyable.

Our Heritage 200

Our new topic this term is called  Our Heritage 200. We will be learning about Braco and Greenloaning over the past 200 years.

As part of our celebrations, a performance will be held in the Lodge Park at the end of March. Aileen Ogilvie came to help us plan out what we would be doing and she was also joined by Dave Macfarlane, who will help us create music for this performance.

The Sound of Music

We sang our little hearts out today at the Perth Concert Hall. We learnt the songs of the Sound of Music then had lunch at the Inch.

In the afternoon we watched a short performance by the Expressive Arts specialists and joined in with all the songs.

Well done all the girls who came in beautiful dresses and Noah in his Lederhosen!

Awongalema Tree

Today P2/3 went over to Blackford Primary School to take part in the Awongalema Tree activities provided by the Art, Drama and Music specialists.

They heard the story of the Awongalema Tree. They had to draw and paint a beautiful, colourful tree. They also learned to play different percussion instruments to different parts of the story. The children also performed in the final performance of the story with singing dancing and playing the instruments.

Everybody came away with a smile on their face!

A big thank you to the specialists and Blackford Primary for letting us use their school.
