In February P7 submitted an entry to a competition run by the French Institute. We made a short video of The Very Hungry Caterpillar in French. This included illustrations by the class and a recording of every pupil speaking some French. Our entry was then submitted to the Scotland wide competition as Edinburgh’s entry in the P5-7 age group.
The whole school had a wonderful time at the panto. at the King’s theatre this afternoon.

P7 were invited along to Summerhall this morning to participate in a performance of The Voice Thief by Catherine Wheels Theatre Company. It was a wonderful production and a really exciting and innovative theatre experience for both children and adults. P7 have written reviews of the performance and would highly recommend it …
This sinister experience was outstanding and interesting compared to other theater shows. Children over 9 will definitely enjoy it . In some ways it felt creepy and scary as if we were about to get our voices taken from us, like we were in a real laboratory!
***** interesting experience ! Tia and India
Our experience of this heart stopping show was spectacular, it made us feel as if we were in the actor’s shoes, proving that the director has done an excellent job, we recommend this to children 9+
***** “beyond spectacular!” by Miekha and Emma
The background blends in with the characters. You wear surgical masks making you feel like you are part of the cast. Also it was very atmospheric!

This unique and sinister tour takes you through this wonderful factory of mis-hap, letting you explore before the exciting magic begins. Whilst you’re being told about voice theft, anguish and anxiety, the real story begins.
*****Intriguing by Katie and Salma
The Voice Thief is a unique play that allows children to get involved in what is happening. I had an amazing time, had lots of fun and enjoyed myself. My favourite part was when Erin sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and while she was sing her voice went really high and really low! The atmosphere in each different room felt so real and it was absolutely amazing! I would love to see it again.
***** a fantastic experience by Abby and Yuchen
I think The Voice Thief was an amazing experience for children aged nine and over .The play was unusual because you didn’t sit like in a normal theater but in The Voice Thief you were moving around in every scene like you were part of it ! I would recommend seeing it .
