This term a group of Primary six pupils have been coming along to the Woosh Drama After School Club on Tuesdays. Myself and Shonagh Davidson, a Drama specialist, have enjoyed running the club with our 12 very enthusiastic members!

Here are some of the pupil’s comments:

Shonagh, our Drama teacher is very nice and she does Drama with Miss Russell. Some of the activities we do are games, drama, talking about things and circle times. (Taylor and Kira, P6)

Woosh drama is fun because we always play games and have one of the best teachers in the school who helps with the drama. I really like it and I hope it returns next year. (Ross Pitcairn, P6S)

Woosh is the best Drama Club. I love it and enjoy it. There’s lots of games and I love the teachers that do it. (Kira, P6S)

I absolutely luv Woosh, it’s the bomb! The games are the 2nd best, but the drama is the best bit! Miss Russell and Shonagh are the best teachers in the world!! (Nicole Wright, P6S)

Drama club is the best ever! We do tons of drama games like miming ones such as “What’s my job?” and group co-operation games like ” 1 to Whatever” I would love to stay and you should all come to drama, I wish!! ( Emma Walker P6)

Drama Club is the best club that I’ve ever been to. We learn new games and my favourite is the parachute game called Sharks (Lucy McLeish, P6G)

Drama is cool and I like the people that go to it (Paul Greig, P6S)

We visited Prestongrange Museum during The 3 Harbours Festival Week. As we were studying Scotland in P4, we thought it would be interesting to meet a Scottish artist. She showed us examples of her sculptures and how she plans her ideas, before using the limestone to create the sculpture. After our trip we wrote ‘Thank You’ letters to Susheila.

P5B casually looked up from their work and came face to face with a cow going past the classroom window ! Were we daydreaming ? No it was definitely a cow! Not a real one of course but a cow all the same.We had been given one to recycle as part of the 3 Harbours Festival.It had originally been part of the Cow Parade in Edinburgh and we had the opportunity to recycle it ,add our own designs and display it in Prestonpans.So 12 children painted their designs on the cow with the help of local artists.
