To prepare for our trip today to Usher Hall to watch ‘Once upon a tune’ performed by the RSNO we listened to clips of the music. We jotted down our feelings and drew pictures of the stories the songs were about. Royal Scottish National Orchestra James Mayhew #OnceUponATune

Class 4’s beautiful artwork based on James Mayhew ‘s #onceuponatune . We were inspired by ‘The Flight of the Bumblebee.’ They each completed their own bumblebee and piece of honeycomb, creating our very own hive! #perseverancestc #unitystc

Seriously, this is our favourite place! 🏠🎶🎹
