Shake, Rattle and Roll

The Vigo children were treated to a real surprise on the morning of Monday 9th October. Rather than an assembly to start their week, they were entertained by the combined talents of Mark and Paul- collectively, Shake, Rattle and Roll. For an hour, the pair displayed their varied talents, from classical music to Scottish bagpipes. During the performance, a number of children were invited to try out some of the instruments, and to produce some genuinely excellent tunes.

Unfortunately, the hour went very quickly, and the children were making their way back to their classrooms. However, they did so in the knowledge that each class was going to have an opportunity to work with Mark and Paul in the hall. This time, all of the children took the chance to shake, rattle or roll, and a succession of beats and rythms echoed through the school.

Thank you to Mark and Paul for all your efforts, it was a fanstastic day, and we learnt a great deal from it. We really hope to see Shake, Rattle and Roll again in the not too distant future.
