Music and medicines

This week we have had visitors from Norway. The musicians who have come over from Norway for the Tree Lighting celebration at the St Magnus Cathedral visited the school to play their Hardanger fiddles for us. It was the very different sound to the type of fiddle we play and it looked very different too. Thank you Frank and Alexander!



We also had a visit from Daisy's mum who is a pharmacist. She told us all about medicines and being a pharmacist. We made notes and asked questions about the job. Now we are designing leaflets about how to keep medicines and drugs properly and in particular how to look after them safely around young children. When we have got the leaflets checked we will copy some and put them at school reception for parents to use.

Our mountain topic continues and we have a new symbaloo to use which will be added to as the topic develops. Let us know if you have any good links.

  1. hi class 6 yesterday Daisys Mum came in to talk about medicines/drugs she made a power point and it told you all the information that you needed. It told how to use medicines safely when to take them and how to take them. After little break there were two norwegien musicians who came in and they were really good they played the fiddle but it was a different type of fiddle it had seven tuning pegs and eight strings at the end we all got a photo with them.Jennifer

  3. I was very interested in the drug talk and the Musicians. I had asked lots of questions about looking after drugs and how they help drug addicts. I enjoyed listening to the new music it was inspiring it made feel like i could jump up in front of everyone and start playing. Sofia

  4. Hi class 6.Yesterday Fiona (my mum) came in and gave us a talk about medicine and how to be safe with it.She told us all about how it got tested and made sure it was safe and why you should only take the medicine you're giving and the correct dose for you're age. She also told us how long she had to go to university for and what you had to study why she wanted to be a pharmacist and the skills you need to become one.Later that day some Norwegian musicians came in to preform for us as they where up for the tree lighting. They played special instruments form Norway that looked like fiddles but they wear not they had special paterns and the head of them was different from normal fiddles but the biggest difference was that they had more strings that where underneath the four on top. Both of these things where really interesting and i hope something like it will happen again soon.Daisy
