MEETING IN SCOTLAND 4 (SATURDAY)

Most of Saturday was spent in Glasgow- the 'home' of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.


Following a tour round the GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART, we all enjoyed lunch at the Mackintosh-designed WILLOW TEAROOMS.

In the evening we all took part in a CEILIDH in St. Barbara's Church Hall.

Many traditional dances were performed!

One of these was THE GAY GORDONS - This video shows the steps

MEETING IN SCOTLAND 3

We all get down to the business of planning for the coming year of our project! It is a pity our school was not quite looking its best due to renovation work. We are designating a room in the building as an INTERNATIONAL ROOM where we can display all our work and build up resources on our partner countries!

THE ARRIVAL AT ST.BARBARA'S

October was a good choice weatherwise- these pics were taken from my house today.....the snow is falling early this year!

The School Fayre

We have all been working making Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired tea-light holders for the Annual School Fayre. The children did these freehand using glass paints and were all really pleased with the results.
