Yesterday, we had a variety of outside activities, which P4-7 enjoyed together and which were led by some of the High School Ambassadors from Knox Academy.
Learning some German phrases with Miss Natterer.
Yesterday P4 and P5 travelled to Meadowmill where we took part in the East Lothian Primary Games, along with almost 1000 children from across East Lothian. As well as having a great day out of school in amazing weather, we also had the opportunity to see the Queen’s baton for the Commonwealth Games, which arrived at Meadowmill in late morning.
By the end of the day, all the pupils had tried a variety of different sports, and many were quite pink, as the sun was really hot!
I’m sure you have realised we have been rehearsing for an upcoming performance of the story of Burke and Hare. Here are a couple of photos from our recent rehearsal day. Acting and singing are evident in large doses!
Our 2014 Schoolovision entry was voted into 14th position out of 30 countries by the pupils of Europe, which was a result we can be very happy about. But, perhaps more significantly, the teachers involved in the project also voted for their favourite songs in various categories, and I’m really delighted to announce that Scotland came out top in both the categories we entered. These categories were “voices” and “cultural traditions”.
Many thanks to the Polish partner, Marek, for his work in creating the certificates for all the winners in each category.
It’s no surprise at all that we won the “voices” category- as we certainly had the most positive comments you could imagine on the original entry. You can see these comments for our own song, if you look under the song entry on the Schoolovision blog itself.
