Yesterday, senior Drama students took a trip to Edinburgh to see the acclaimed National Theatre production of War Horse, based on the novel by Michael Morpurgo. They were impressed by the incredible use of technical theatre and life-size horse puppetry. Higher drama students are looking forward to writing about this experience in their end of year exams 
Last night we held our first Art Studio Session! 
We plan to hold these at the end of each term to give our senior pupils the opportunity to work on their expressive folios, share good practise and enjoy a social evening. We also invited staff to take the opportunity to see the hard work and super standards produced at this level 
Gu math thèid leibh dhan a h-uile duine a tha falbh sìos dhan Ghearastan an ath-sheachdain gus pàirt a ghabhail anns a’ Mhòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail. Good luck to our pupils attending the National Mòd in Fort William next week.

More locally, there is a drama workhop with Eden Court on 1st November, and we are planning to start a new typing club for S1 GME pupils to help boost IT skills. Keep an eye out for more info early next term!

Science in the Atrium 
Science in the Atrium returned on Monday night with a talk on the Physics of Music. An audience of over 100 enjoyed the talk given by Dr Jonathan Kemp from the University of St Andrews. Dr Kemp explained his topic in an entertaining manner using musical instruments along with visual displays and was accompanied on stage by pupil Daniel Finnigan who played the trumpet 
It was great to see so many pupils in the audience and we hope they'll come back for the next talk in the series
This is on the 6th of November and looks at New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (CERN).
