Olly and Owen joined Primary 6 and 7 for their first out of three Creative Music Sessions. These sessions introduce children to live, orchestral music, today’s session focussed on Samba. They learnt about the rhythms and instruments of Brazil whilst developing their team work and listening skills.

We are learning to … be confident and build good friendships through singing.
I can … talk about forgiving and friendship.
I can … perform for others.
I can … work together with my class.
Here is what P1 had to say about their ‘Rookie Rockstars’ week:
The songs were teaching us how to be friends.
We learned rock songs.
They were about happiness and sadness.
I liked when we were singing – Bullies are not cool!
I liked the penguin dance.
I liked putting our arms round each other and showing we are friends
I liked the song about not giving up, like in a race!
I liked challenge time when people rapped or had a marshmallow challenge!
We were recording our songs for a CD.
We are looking forward to dressing up for the concert!
The children are having lots of fun with the Rookie Rockstars. Today they learned another two songs, as part of the preparation for their concert next week and to record on their CD later this week. Today’s songs were “Bullies ain’t big” and “Hey, hey, I’m ok”. All classes have been busy designing a CD cover for the PUSCPS CD and the winner will be announced at the concert next week. In the meantime, here are a few photos from the fun today. Mrs Campbell and Miss Mulhearn took on the Rapbattle challenge against Katy and Sam, and they won! Well done to them all for taking part!
As you will be aware, Rookie Rockstars will be coming to work with our children during the week beginning 30th April. They will be working towards helping the children to record their own CD. Our pupils will also be given the opportunity to perform in a concert on the evening of 10th May. Rookie Rockstars have sent this letter with further information about the programme. Tickets for the concert will be on sale very soon. We hope you will be able to come along and support this event!
Today we invited Rev. Povey and our families along to our Easter Service.
