Burns in Aberdour

Setting the scene....

Another lunch time show.....this time in Aberdour. A combined group of P6 & 7 enthusiastically responded to Burns. Once again the combination of technology and audience participation worked well at delivering the message, with some excellent feedback from the staff and the young people themselves. A series of probing questions at the end, showed that young, enquiring minds, had been well at work.

...and a traditional ending....

Burns in Kinghorn

Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie

Another short school show, this time in Kinghorn Primary during their St. Andrew's Day celebrations. They had invited parents and friends in to show off their dancing skills, prior to performing at the Fife Festival next week, and I managed to fit in a short, half-hour presentation to over 100 adults and children. It will be interesting to see who learnt most! Once again the mousey and louse went well. The powerpoint is an excellent aid to telling this story and feedback was very favourable.

Burns in Burntisland

Another school visit ... Burntisland Primary this time. About sixty P.7 pupils, and associated staff, enjoyed a cut down version of the lunch-time show. They managed to sing along using the Power-point prompts and were keen to interact when invited. Tam O' Shanter with accompanying audio-visuals was well received!

The Twa Dugs, the Mouse and the (cuddly) Louse were also a big hit with the youngsters.

A quick round of questions at the end showed the young folks had been listening well during the show, and we finished with a small group photo.

The variety of poems, songs and powerpoint kept the children's attention very well and there was a lot of useful information given which could be followed up in the classroom. The use of visual aids added to the enjoyment! .... it was very beneficial to children and teachers. (P7 teachers)
