Strathnairn Music Initiative

This is a video of the Strathnairn Music Initiative who recorded a compliation of music at their end of year (online) ensemble. The video includes a young group of violinists playing the Skye Boat Song at 6 mins 30 and then sing a wee verse of Jingle Bells at around 14 mins 20. It was filmed outside at the Farr Woods building. A group ensemble of Winter Wonderland is also on there.

Ardgour Primary and Nursery's Digital Pantomime!

PANTO - Louise MacLean.jpg

All pupils, from nursery to P7, worked really hard on our annual pantomime. From editing the scripts to make it relevant to our community and the strange year we have all experienced, to learning their lines, learning their actions and helping to make props, the children worked really hard to make this year’s pantomime a success. We usually perform to our local community but due to COVID we had to film the scenes and edit and then copy to DVDs to share with our parents/carers and wider community. The children all showed great resilience with the new way of working and are all looking forward to our VIP premiere on Monday! Well done for all of your hard work!
