On Monday evening it was the turn of Barnhill Primary School to put on their P6/7 school show. They presented a lively and amusing performance of Buses, Brushes, Bobbies and Bleach. This was performed in the assembly hall of the New Grove Academy which is much better equipped and accommodating than the school hall in the primary school. It's good to see a primary schools in the Grove cluster already drawing on the outstanding facilities available in Grove Academy.The show was built around short bursts of conversations around the breakfast table between a family group of two parents and their two children about to depart for work and school. This preceded musical and dramatic scenes on the main stage which took a light hearted look at life in school. I was impressed with the inclusiveness of the production involving all of the pupils in P6 and P7 as well as the enthusiastic dancing and singing and the clear diction of the pupils with speaking parts.
Staff at Barnhill Primary School are to be congratulated on reestablishing a P6/7 school play, which increasingly is a rite of passage prior to going up to Secondary School. I am sure many happy primary school memories will be made of this.
