Scottish Evening at Eastern Primary School
Yesterday evening, (Friday 19 February) I attended the Scottish Evening at Eastern Primary School. This was an enjoyable fund raising event organised by the Parent Council in conjunction with the School. Rachel Tierney and Erin Nicoll from P7 very ably and confidently acted as joint presenters of the evening. They introduced expressive recitations of poems delivered by pupils from every class in the school, Leng Medal singers, the BB Pipe Band and the Scottish Young Fiddlers. Interspersing the recitations and musical contributions there were five dances. It was good to see the generations of grand parents, parents and carers and pupils dancing together enthusiastically. This was not only an effective way of raising cash towards the Parent Council's target of £10,000 for the year, but more importantly it was an enjoyable community event celebrating Scottish culture. Parents, carers and teachers can be proud of the accomplishments of Eastern's talented pupils.
