Visit to Inverard
On Monday, 10 March 2008, the Junior Chamber Choir (bottom left), Mrs Russell, Mrs Robertson and a small selection of P6 children visited Inverard House to celebrate two recent 100th birthdays. The Chamber Choir sang two songs: ‘Lean on Me’ by Bill Withers and a jazzy nonsense song called ‘Scooby Doo’, after of course the traditional ‘Happy Birthday’, in which everybody joined.
Then — giving the
Chamber Choir a short break — Mrs Robertson produced
some literature which we, the children, had written. It
was one or two sentences about what we thought being
100 means. Nicholas Peters also read out a kenning which
the whole of Mrs Robertson’s class had created about being
100.
Then the chamber choir sang two last songs, with a
nice jazzy song to finish. Afterwards, we ate some food
(quite a lot actually).

In Primary 3, all children learn the recorder. Our low class size provides for very small groups and plenty of individual help. Of course, many children go on to learn another musical instrument for themselves and instrumental teachers provide lessons within the school day.

Orchestras and smaller bands get the chance to perform on a regular basis. Informal Class concerts, which are held annually, are just one way in which every child has the chance to participate musically. .jpg)
Also, each year group performs an annual musical show and this provides opportunities for display of singing and acting which seems to get better every year! 
At Scottish Opera (‘Passport to Paris’) all of the P6s were put into groups: P6M were the crew, P6K were the French children and P6R were the the Scottish children. My favourite part was when we got the outfits to wear because the big performance was in two hours. The real performance was really nerve racking because we made big big big mistakes. Overall it was very fun and it was enjoyable for all.
During the Spring Term every class from P3 to P6 took part in a class concert.
You might have been an announcer if you didn’t play an instrument. If you played two instruments you could play both.
