National Galleries Prizewinners!

We are thrilled to announce that for the 7th year we have winners in the National Galleries of Scotland Art Competition! This year there were over 6000 entries from all over Scotland so we are delighted to have prizewinners at Roseburn.

The theme for the nursery category was ' How Does Your Garden Grow? '

Many congratulations to Jay from the morning nursery class for winning 1st prize for his watercolour painting of thistles in the rain.

Jay's prize includes £150 to spend on art materials for the nursery, a workshop and gallery visit for his nursery class and a bag of art goodies for himself! His work will also be displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in Queen Street and feature in the National Galleries calendar for 2013.

Harry from the morning nursery class received a 'Special Merit' for his work depicting bulbs growing in an old wellie boot! We love the huge sun and much needed raindrops which are helping the bulbs grow!

Harry's work will also be displayed in the National Portrait Gallery and he will be presented with a goody bag of art materials.

The nursery pupils achieved another success with their group entry!

This beautiful mixed-media picture, created by many of the pupils in the morning class, was awarded 3rd prize in the groupwork category!

The work was produced over several weeks and represents the pupils' ideas about their nursery garden at Roseburn. It includes the blossom trees, the living willow arches, the tubs of spring flowers planted by the pupils and the children themselves tending the garden with watering cans and brooms at the ready! If you look closely you will even see some visiting mini-beasts!

The nursery pupils have been working very hard all year to produce work for this competition. Below is a selection of photographs showing some of the other entries and images of the pupils involved in the preparation of their work.

All the Fun of the Spring Fair!

It was another bumper Spring Fair on Saturday 12^th May at Roseburn! There were lots of attractions for all the family to enjoy and the weather was very kind to us, especially after the recent rain. The Fair opened to the sound of the Edinburgh Postal Pipe Band and outside the school there were lots of fun activities such as ‘Beat the Goalie’, bouncy castle, putting, seed planting, arts and crafts and even the chance to handle a snake! Children climbed onto the Lothian and Borders Fire engine and were even handcuffed and locked in the back of the police van by PC Iain Jamieson!

There were lots of stalls in school where you could purchase all sorts of things from the wonderful array of home baking to handmade silver jewellery and second hand toys and books. Well done to those who won the raffle prizes and to others who received a bargain in the silent auction.

Thank you to everyone who very kindly donated goods, to those who came along on the day and to the PTA who worked really hard to make the day a great success for everyone.
