  • On Monday afternoon we went over to Linlithgow Primary School to watch a show called ‘Up to Speed’ about a girl and a boy, Jade and Barnaby ,and what it’s like to be the odd one out. The show was very good and made us think about Children’s Rights and how we should treat everyone equally.
  • On Tuesday we were invited to St Kent’s to watch their amazing production of Les Mis. The show was fantastic and we were delighted to see that Niamh Mullholland and Ciara Fitzsimons had main parts. Their singing was out of this world. Michael Boyle performed with the orchestra. His trumpet playing was excellent. We think we have some budding stars of the future in P7. This show motivated us to work hard in music and drama.
