Snowshow!

S1 - S3 drama students enjoyed an excellent trip to the Kings theatre in Glasgow to see Slava's Snowshow. The show is an outstanding mix of visual imagery, music, mime and audience engagement by true 'clown' artists. Here are some pictures and a video to give you a flavour of the show...

Successful exhibition!


Thank you to all who supported our 1st ever digital art exhibition today. It was a super success with over 90 paintings sold!

Middle school pupils were excellent at welcoming visitors, showing them round and demonstrating different apps. They were a credit to the school- well done!


I will send home as many of the purchased paintings as possible with the relevant children before we break up for the holidays. Some paintings will have to be reordered over the holidays but will be ready for as soon as we come back.

If you have bought a painting and it has not arrived by Tuesday 1st November, please do not hesitate to email me as it is possible that there may have been the odd mishap with our ordering system at busy times! jo@cedars.inverclyde.sch.uk

If you couldn't make the exhibition but would like to order a painting, you can view most of the exhibits on our flickr site. You can access it from the page that lists all the blogs on the school website.

Please email me at
if you want to order any paintings and I will arrange it. jo@cedars.inverclyde.sch.uk

Open Day Success!




Yesterday we held an open day for parents and pupils and friends. It was a tremendous success. There were a large number of visitors to the school who took advantage of the chance to see round the building, have a coffee and delicious cake and take part in a number of themed workshops.















The reaction from those who came was universally positive and many people complimented the senior and primary choirs who sang at the end.
Many thanks to all involved in making the day such a success.
