April/May – Scouts, Whitburn, More Sciennes and Oxgangs

Despite the lack of postings the Imagineers have been busy, mostly with out me.

They received three cheers from the fifty scouts in the 82nd Inverleith Scouts troop.  Their leader writes:

It went down a storm with our Scouts. They had a fabulous time, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves…and hopefully learnt something too!

The guys and girls from Heriot Watt were fantastic, and their enthusiasm seemed to spark with the Scouts. A brilliant night!

The twenty-six S1 students at Whitburn Acadamy also “really enjoyed the event”, and thirty more Sciennes P7’s were entertained.

At Oxgangs we again managed to work with two classes of 25 children in under two hours.  Dr Bunhead dropped by to see how we were getting on and was immeadiately impressed with how quite and focussed the children were when he arrived mid session.  He commented on how much we had improved since seeing us in January at Clovenstone Primary.  With the activities and demos all working everytime, the imagineers structuring their questioning so well and working at the childrens eye level we have basically cracked it (but we knew that any way :) ).  We have devloped a good set of resources which can be delivered again and again.  And now the Imagineers have time to develop their teaching and communications skills, and some have already started along this path.

There are two more bookings for the end of May.  And then our thought must turn to how we can manage to dothis again next year!
