Jeemie the Jarl

All the classes have been working really hard to learn the song that Andrea Henderson wrote especially for ‘Jeemie the Jarl’ way back in 2000.  We have really enjoyed learning it.  Some of the P6/7 pupils also performed the song on instruments.  Thank you all for working so hard to learn it for SMUHA 2023!

P1/2

Following on from the super visit to the school by Childrens Classic Concerts some classes have been learning more about ‘Peter and the Wolf’ by Sergei Prokofiev.  Here are some photos of P1/2 with the pictures they coloured in whilst listening to the piece. I wonder if they can remember which instruments represented each character!

Leaving Gift for Mrs Henderson

Some P6/7 pupils have been meeting each week for band practice with Mrs Inkster.  Here is their version of Riptide with new words written by P7 pupil, Hannah Wells as a leaving gift for Mrs Henderson.  Mrs Inkster would like to thank all the band members for their hard work this term.  She has really enjoyed working with the pupils and seeing them develop their musical talents.  Special thanks to Hannah for the song and to Connor for all his help with the beginner guitarists.
