Other exciting and ingenious items included a brother and
sister playing a flute and piano duet, two singing pupils
performing a vocal duet, one musician accompanying
herself singing at the piano, and another performer singing
whilst accompanying himself on the ukulele.
There was such a
warm atmosphere,
with the children
conveying their
various pieces, genres
including classical, jazz
and film themes with
great awareness of
style. The musicians
selected lovely pieces,
a great variety from
technically virtuosic
pieces from the
classical period,
through to modern,
evocative pieces with
vivid imagery, lively rhythms and contemplative moods.
These were superb choices for our seven half-hour mini
concerts throughout the day. The audience of parents and
fellow pupils thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

We are fortunate to have such giving, dedicated young
musicians and to have the opportunity to guide them on
their musical journey. To be able to support and encourage
the musicians of the future feels very special. Bravo to all!
Keep practising! Here’s to next year!

Cramond and the port of Rosyth during the war.
The children explored some of the
outings different buildings, gun placements and
other points of interest to consider what
support it would have been like to be a soldier
there.

Cramond was the destination for both
P3 and P7 as pupils coupled classroom
learning with outdoor education.
P3S visited Cramond foreshore to
investigate wind energy for their
science topic, testing wind turbines,
wind socks and kites. P7 children,
meanwhile, had been studying the
Second World War. Class trips were
made to Cramond Island to discover its
role in protecting the city of Edinburgh
