I was out at Drumlemble on Friday, for the preview of their Art Exhibition, which was the culmination of their Rich Task. The red room was very red. The art work was red, too. The masks were inspired by their visit to the Museum of Modern Art. The invited guests were highly impressed, by the huge variety of styles in the other rooms, and that was reflected in the number of ’sold’ stickers. The exhibition ran Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The children were allowed to explore their entrepreneurial sides, selling the artwork, dispensing teas and yummy home baking.
I’ve been helping out there for a few years now and I really enjoy the way in which both staff and pupils take things on board, and take them forward. I had a camera crew of 2 terrific P7’s and was back out yesterday, in my McCrone time to show the P6/7’s how to edit their films and create titles in imovie and iDVD. They were designing the CD labels and covers today.
A well rounded, satisfyingly complete, project, enthusiastically executed, that exemplified all the best potential of the Curriculum for Excellence. I’ve been very pleased to have been involved in bringing the seamlessly integrated ICT, which, as anyone who knows me will recognise as my warcry. Their blog details much of what they have been doing to get to this point.
