Last night’s Dance Show in Stoneyburn Primary School reached new heights in school entertainment – one could be forgiven for thinking Stoneyburn PS is a stage school, such was the professionalism, dedication and precision of those taking part. Group after group entertained a wildly enthusiastic audience who were appreciative of all the effort that had gone into the production. A special thanks to Mrs. Warden and Ms. Welsh for conceiving, rehearsing and producing such a wonderful performing arts experience and for supporting Sports Relief while doing it all.

As part of our sciences curriculum, Primary 7 children were put in charge of the lighting system for the show; every P7 child took responsibility for lighting at least one dance and what a colourful job they made of it – we definitely have bright pupils! The stage, sound and light equipment we use is superb, thanks to an Awards for All grant received last year. A big ‘thank you’ to Mr. David Patterson, lighting engineer from Airdrie Arts Centre who, despite being recently injured, has made the long journey from Airdrie to Stoneyburn many times to help us out.

The set was commented upon by many parents, friends and visiting staff. The outstanding design and artwork was the work of two parents, Mrs. MacMillan and Ms. Meek and their hard work and skill were acknowledged at the end of the show.

This Dance Show is another one to add to our growing list of outstanding successes. We don’t yet know how much was raised for Sports Relief; we will publish the amount here in the near future. in the meantime, thanks to everyone who bought tickets or donated their cash at the end of the show.
