It’s all going on in the QMA cluster, where pupils have been exploring both Mandarin and Gaelic!

Pupils at Queen Margaret Academy hosted a range of celebrations for Chinese New Year. The celebrations included workshops teaching pupils about Chinese culture, dance, calligraphy, Chinese cutting, knotting and traditional tea ceremony. Workshops were enjoyed by pupils from S1, S2 and P.7 pupils from St Patrick’s, St Ninian’s, St John’s, St Cuthbert’s and Sacred Heart joined in too.

St Ninian’s Primary have been learning some Gaelic in Nursery and P.1. They recently enjoyed a visit from Mrs McColl and P.1-3 from the Onthank Primary Gaelic Unit. The pupils learned some basic vocabulary and participated in games and songs! The cluster primaries look forward to welcoming Fèisean nan Gàidheal, who will be delivering Gaelic workshops through dance, stories and songs.
