Gordon McCracken Visit!

Today we had Gordon McCracken along to visit with a few of his friends!

He did an assembly with us and taught us lots of interesting facts about Bumblebee’s (and made 2 bee’s out of balloons!) and also told the story of the blind man who Jesus helped to see.

After this, Gordon did a workshop with P6 & 7. They learned lots about ventriloquism and skills which make a good puppeteer!

Can you say the letters b, f, m, p, v or w without using your lips?

We’ve had a wonderful afternoon!

 

Visit to the New Hostel!

After performing in the 2018 Shetland School’s Music Festival, we went to visit the New Halls of Residence – aka. The Hostel.

First we had our lunch, and then Nick – the manager of the Hostel – took us for a tour! We saw the rec rooms (where the residents chill out), study (where they do any homework), music rooms (which have soundproof walls) and we even got a sneak peek in the bedrooms!
