Do you know anyone who would be interested in adopting a piano?

We’ve had the below message from Rosanna at Pianodrome

I am writing on behalf of the adopt a piano adoption scheme at the Pianodrome.

We have many upright and grand pianos up for adoption at the Wee Hub in Ocean Terminal shopping centre. The showroom is open Thursdays 10-2pm and Saturdays 12-4pm. Suggested prices reflect the quality of the instruments which we are refurbishing to give them a new lease of life. All donations go back into the project to upskill our volunteers and save pianos from waste.

Please see this BBC article for more information on this project:

Our website has further details too:

Please share this information as widely as possible with anyone you think might be interested in giving a piano a good home.

All the best,

Rosanna,

Volunteer with Pianodrome

Les Conteurs de P6 et les auditeurs de P3

P3 we’re lucky to have visitors from P6 this week who came to tell us a story they had written in French. The focus for their story was ’emotions’ where they used well known characters to talk about how they were feeling and why they felt this way. 

P3 did well to work out what these feelings meant from the words and the wonderful illustrations.

Thank you P6 for sharing your French stories so confidently with us!

P2s Complete Roots of Empathy Program

P2s in Miss Younger and Mrs Gunstone & Mrs Chadwick’s classes completed their Roots of Empathy program with instructor Mrs Harris-Toner. Each week the children enjoyed getting to know Baby Oliver and seeing how he was changing and growing. We connected with our Roots of Empathy family through regular visits and news with mum Sally and big sister Chloe.

The lessons gave the children an opportunity to share their feelings and experiences. The children especially enjoyed the art activities, learning how to look after a baby and thinking of their wishes for Baby Oliver as he grows up. Last week the children said a big thank you and fond goodbye to Oliver, Sally and Chloe. This week the children were delighted to receive their well deserved certificates. 

For more information please ask Mrs Harris-Toner, Miss Younger, Mrs Gunstone and Mrs Chadwick. Also check out
