Loughries Ulster Scots Summer School 2010 - 2


Well, 'when the show is over it is time to leave the stage', famous words of a great man - former British Prime Minister John Major.
-
Today, Loughries Ulster Scots Summer School came to a close. Just prior to this photo being taken, 62 school children aged between 4 and 12 with around 100 parents/family packed into the assembly hall for a farewell showcase event.
-
The children performed music, tin whistle, fiddle and bagpipe - history project for the week was Helen's Tower and Scrabo Tower, the children researched information and recited this on stage. Famous Person this week was Rabbie Burns, again research was carried out and facts told on stage about the life and times of the bard - Scottish Country Dances were performed by 2 x age groups and number of Ulster Scots nursery rhythms were performed by the under 7's actions and all. Final speech by me thanking everyone etc, etc. the end of a great week.
-
All the leaders and I are shattered, it was a brilliant week, everyone enjoyed themselves, we did not loose any children, no injuries and we did not burn the school down!
-
The fourth year of Loughries Ulster Scots Summer School at Castle Gardens Primary School and another wonderful event organised by a fabulous group of volunteers. Oh yes and 3-4 minutes on the BBC Newsline at 630 this evening and page 13 in the Newsletter - not too bad!
