Scottish Poetry Recital Clan Competition

Our children have been busy learning their Scots and Burns poems the past two weeks, at home and school. Today the children who wanted to enter the clan competition recited their poem for their clan. Congratulations to all our children who recited their poems, their was a real buzz of excitement across Calderwood!

 

The clans then had a secret vote for who they thought should represent their clan at the Calderwood competition, they used the success criteria to help with this. Tay clan used an online form for their votes.

Congratulations to our clan competitions! These children will represent their clan in the Calderwood Poetry Recital next Friday which will have a panel of judges.

The children were also very excited to make a phone call home to share their news!

Scottish Poetry Calderwood Competition

As part of our Scottish focus for learning and Burns Day on 25th January the children are participating in a Poetry Recital Competition and have taken home a range of Scottish Poems. The children should choose one poem to learn. The children should learn the poem by heart and use the following success criteria. All children should learn their poem however this is no expectation that they need to recite it in front of the clan if they feel uncomfortable. They also have the option to film their recital, do it to the teacher privately, or as a group. As you will see below, some clans have the same option of poem – this is as these classes are working within the same Curriculum for Excellence level and allows for differentiation. In clan qualifying recitals will take place on Friday 21st January and finals will take place on Friday 28th January (these will be filmed for your viewing).

Request from Mull Clan

Dear Parents/Carers,
In Mull clan the children have expressed interest and enjoyment in putting on shows and performing. I now have a stage set up in the play area where they can practice and perform for each other. We are planning to talk and learn about the use of lights, music, staging and costumes for a wide range of performances.
We are looking for any costumes/props to be donated for the children to use as part of their play. If you have any of the following items that are looking for a new home, we would be more than happy to take them off your hands!:
-hats
-scarves
-glasses
-jackets
-skirts
-Unwanted Halloween costumes (nothing too scary)
-props i.e. magic wands, broomsticks etc
-loose materials i.e. velvet, netting gauze, blankets etc
If there is anything you would like to donate, please hand it in to the school office or your child can bring it into class in the morning.
Kind Regards,
Mrs McGarvey
