Hip Hop Workshop

October 25, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

First day back after the October holidays and our P7 pupils were treated to a Hip Hop Workshop.

Organised by Shetlandarts Room 2 Manoeuvre’s are visiting Shetland with their ‘Without a Hitch’ hip hop dance theatre production. As part of this a 50 minute workshop was offered to our P7 pupils.

The pupils were guided through Hip Hop dance techniques, improvisation, partner work and choreography by Artistic Director Tony Mills. We couldn’t believe how well they all did after a short workshop.

The performance ‘Without a Hitch’ is showing at the Garrison Theatre on Thursday 26 October at 7.30pm for anyone wishing to see more.

Swimming Galas

This week pupils in P4-7 have shown great stamina, competitiveness, enjoyment and super team working skills during their participation at this year’s swimming galas.

We were fortunate to secure sponsorship once again from G4S and held two exciting mornings at the pool. This term each class has received a six week block of swimming lessons and what better way to show off their progress and talents than to take part in the galas?

The P6/7 gala was extremely close and was won by house team ‘Olaf’ who beat ‘Magnus’ by only three points.

The P4/5 gala was also won by ‘Olaf’.

Thanks to Mrs Wood for organising the event and to parents/carers and family members for coming along to support the children.

Jubilee Dance

It was wonderful to see so many pupils, parents and grandparents at the Jubilee Dance tonight. What a super night – great music by the Peter Wood Dance Band, a lovely supper – big thank you to Carol Jamieson, champion bannock maker and Dorothy Robertson for the soup.

The P7 pupils did a fantastic job pulling it all together and getting the school looking so good. We were impressed with all the dancing.

Thank you for supporting us and helping us raise money towards the P7 trips this year.

Punctuating Speech

K and I

Today P7S had a lot of fun writing a dialogue between two characters, which they had created as puppets beforehand! Their task was to write a conversation between their characters and punctuate their speech. They then performed their conversation (using their writing as a script) to the class.

Primary 3s have been practising hard for their assembly on the 29th September. This is one of the songs we will be performing. It’s called “Bonjour, c’est moi” (Hello, it’s me!) and in it we show how we have learned the names for parts of our bodies in French.

Primary 7N Board Games

Primary 7N have also been busy creating their own board games, with instructions, in cooperative learning groups. They were inspired by their class novel – “The Brilliant World of Tom Gates” by Liz Pichon. Pichon uses lots of doodle cartoons and calligrams to make her stories even more interesting. P7N used these techniques on their board games to make them really eye catching and quirky.

We had a really fun afternoon playing our completed board games.

Both Primary One classes have been very busy learning through stories this term. We have enjoyed lots of activities to help develop our pre reading and writing skills.
