Easter Cards

P6's have been using their sewing skills to create Easter cards. There were lots of amazing designs, including chickens, bunnies and eggs.
Here is Robbie's design - I think you'll agree that he's made a FANTASTIC job of it.

Easter Baskets

P6 pupils have been making lovely Easter egg baskets. 

Thank you very much Callum in P6A for this gift!

Two very special guides awaited P6 this week, when all three classes were invited to Edinburgh Castle.

We have been exploring the characters and events linked to the Jacobite risings between 1689 and 1746. Our guides came from opposite sides of the conflict and, using a rich array of props and original artefacts, they brought the daily lives of soldiers vividly to life.

You can find some images from the day, along with the questions they provoke, in this show.

The tours were a wonderful way of bringing history to life - well done especially to those who helped our tour guides make this one of the most interesting trips ever!

Redcoats & Rebels

Rapt!

Just back from the mid-term break, Primaries 5, 6 & 7 were invited by Edinburgh University's student orchestra to take part in an introduction to orchestral music.

The university students organised a musical tour of the different sections of the orchestra that had nearly 300 Sciennes' students on the edge of their seats.






Iona from P6C did a fine job of conducting the  orchestra - keeping time as well as she kept her cool. Well done, Iona!

Thank you to Edinburgh University Student Orchestra for organising this wonderful musical experience, which was appreciated greatly by Sciennes' staff and students alike.
