Don’t Stop Us Now- we’re having such a good time!
This term, Primary 7, 7/6 and 6 have been working extremely hard to prepare for their upcoming show, Schools Will Rock You, and it’s guaranteed to blow your mind!!
Our amazing pupils have been busy learning songs, memorising scripts, creating posters and tickets, selecting scenery, writing letters, designing programmes, counting money raised, researching costumes, making and sourcing props, and much, much more!
Not only have we been enhancing our drama and musical abilities, we have also been learning skills for life, learning and work like budgeting, emailing, teamwork, choreography, digital designs, fundraising and advertising.
The teachers have been blown away by the enthusiasm, dedication and talent our children have already shown in the rehearsal/preparation process, and we cannot wait to see the faces of our audience when they see our champions both onstage and behind the scenes. It will send shivers down your spine….
This term, P7/6 have enjoyed creating artwork inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. We spent time researching and discussing the shapes, colours and materials that he uses in his work. We then spent time in the school grounds looking at the resources available to us. We planned how we might use natural materials to incorporate art techniques such as blending colour. Thinking about the seasons, we were able to layer autumnal colours to great effect. The children were very proud of their efforts. Here are the results:
A big thank you to all those who took part in our PSA fundraiser by wearing tartan or dressing down to celebrate Burns Day on 25th January. We raised a fantastic £130.12 for the school.
