ROOKIE ROCKSTARS

This is the first time that Cornbank Primary has been involved with such an exciting initiative and our pupils have thoroughly enjoyed the Rookie Rockstar sessions this week.
RookieAs per the recent flyer distributed, there will be 2 concerts on Tuesday evening – one at 5.30pm for the Eagles and Falcons and the second at 7pm for the Kites and Ospreys.  Tickets are available for purchase and are priced at £5 per adult and under 5 years go free.  There is no cost for any pupil who chooses to perform on the evening and there is no requirement for your child to take part if they do not wish to.
Those taking part in the concert are free to wear their own clothes or can dress in a rock style if they wish.  Eagles and Falcons should arrive for their house concert just before 5.30pm and Kites and Ospreys just before 7pm.  Each concert will last approx 45mins and there will be time afterwards to purchase the recorded CD and any Rookie Rockstars merchandise.
We hope you will enjoy these concerts and look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday evening 🙂

Theatre Workshop and Story Teller

At the beginning of this month Primary 1 and 2 enjoyed a theatre workshop working with Midlothian drama specialists. The activities were based on the famous Oscar Wilde story ‘The Selfish Giant’. The children had a great time and learned so much from the experience.
