P5 took part in a drama workshop as part of International Week. They had to use drama conventions such as still image to recreate part of a Chinese story that was written to teach people about honesty and integrity. In the story the Chinese Emperor set a competition to choose the next Emperor of China, contestants had to grow a plant from a tiny seed, whoever grew the tallest plant would be the next Emperor. The pupils had to design their own competition and create still images to portray.

Last Thursday Mrs Honeyman received a very exciting phone call at Dalry Primary to tell us that 100 tickets to last night’s performance of The Lion King at Edinburgh Playhouse.

These were distributed to some of the families in our school community who took the opportunity to attend the show that night.

Everybody who went really enjoyed the Lions as well as the amazing puppetry of animals from mice to elephants and the special effects, scenery and amazing lighting design.

Thank you to cast and crew of The Lion King for giving so many a chance to experience theatre.
