Well done to all our amazing P5, 6 and & 7 perormers who joined Scottish Opera in a performance of Terracotta Warriors last week.
We were so proud of their hard work and its results.
Here are photos from the rehearsal and performance.

Show Me The Honey!
The wonderful world of beekeeping is being explored like never before in a fantastic new CBBC series for kids and their families. Four families from across the UK will become first-time beekeepers, exploring the incredible world of bees and finding out about their wider local environment, alongside trying to produce some delicious honey! The beekeeping action will be focused on the children taking part but they’ll be supported by their parents or guardians, and any siblings will get to appear too if they wish. Each family will receive their own bees, a hive and all the relevant safety equipment. They’ll also receive training from experts on how to look after the bees. Everyone’s a winner in this eco-friendly, warm competition but there will be a winning family who will be crowned the honey-making champions at the end of the series.
We are currently casting for families to take part across the whole of the UK. Families can be of any shape or size but must include at least one child aged 9-14 and have ample space to keep the bees.
We are working with bee experts to make sure the bees welfare is not compromised during the process of the competition and that they thrive in their new homes.
I was wondering whether there may be any pupils at your school that would like to apply to take part in the competition. They can apply at:

Nursery had generation science out at the beginning of this week to explore the science behind sound through storytelling, use of props, demonstrations, discussions and instruments. The children were really engaged throughout the whole session, particularly when they had the chance to create and use their own instruments.
By the end of the session many children could name instruments and could tell the difference between high and low pitch using their own voices.
Primary 7 have been working on a project with local artist Damien Callen. During our 5 week project, Damien has been assisting us with creating our very own Chinese Lanterns inspired by those at Edinburgh Zoo. The class decided to. Feats a collaboration piece Of an ocean scene, creating animals such as octopus, jelly fish, sea snakes, dolphins and fish. I think you’ll agree they look fish-tactic!
