Cedars Jubilee Celebration

On Friday many of you attended our Jubilee Celebration evening. It was a super night where we showcased much of the fantastic work we have done this year in music and the arts.

It was a super night and the children were really great. The DVD of the night is available for purchase from Mrs Mole at the school for a minimum donation of £3.

Here are some pictures from the night.

Children should wear full school uniform and be at the church from 6.30pm

Entry to the event is £3 and is payable at the door. There will be plenty of room for all friends and family. Feel free to bring a union flag to wave!

We look forward to a great night.

Today we are holding a big Inservice training for our primary staff on implementing the New Zealand Maths strategy in our primary school.

The scheme is recognised as a world leader in developing numeracy and number skills and Mr Creighton and Mr Atkinson have just visited a primary school near Aberdeen that are enjoying great success in developing numeracy using this method.

Today was spent getting to grips with the method and planning for implementing this exciting development in Cedars School to increase numeracy across our primary school.

Drama

Drama students were looking at the role of the director this week. They each had to chose from a selection short, ambiguous texts and then interpret their choice theatrically in terms of character, setting, era, genre, etc. Everyone really enjoyed it and there were some very creative interpretations!

Once they had completed their theatrical interpretation, they then had direct their peers in the drama they had created:

P5/6 Return from Edinburgh

Primary 5/6 returned from their residential week in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital. It was an excellent week in which they visited many sites associated with the work they have done this year, and a whole lot more besides!
The behaviour, attitude and enthusiasm of every one of the children on the trip was a credit to the school and to their parents and families.
The teachers on the trip would like to thank all the parents for their support of the trip, allowing us to look after such polite and well mannered young people and for all the positive comments on the blog throughout the week.

Home for a rest? Not likely, ice skating lessons begin tomorrow!

Tennis season!

This term for BC non drama pupils are doing tennis:
