Today saw us return to Orangefield P.S. (my old school), to pay a visit to one of the P7 classes. The purpose of the visit was to record a program for Homely Planet radio. The content of the program was based on the pupils understanding of 'diversity'. We spent approximately 1.5 hrs with the pupils and it proved to be one of the most successful visits to date.
The pupils were well prepared for our visit. They sang songs about foreign countries, they had written poems, told stories and asked loads of questions to members of our team (Skye, Wilson & Vincente). The material just kept coming. We were continually surprised by their knowledge, and willingness to express themselves. They had brought several traditional costumes in (very colourful). All in all a terrific morning finished off with a good old blatter on the hand drums.
A specia l'thank you' must go to Mrs Luney (teacher) who had obviously worked very hard on preparing the pupils for our visit.
