On Thursday, all students in grade 5 went on a field trip to the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra. Where they enjoyed many different pieces of music which was played right in front of them. The conductor made this an interactive experience and got all of the children very involved. He introduced some of the instrumentalists and told them what country they were from. He asked children from the audience to conduct the orchestra. He was really enthusiastic about his job and the children saw that. The bonus was, he was from Scotland and so is Ms. Catherine!!

All of the students seemed to enjoy it and benefitted from hearing all the different instruments, they were also taught what some of the instruments were called. A highlight was the instruments that sounded like birds. They couldn’t work out where the noises were coming from.

They also experienced beautiful architecture in the Qatar National Convention Centre. We took some photographs under a giant spider.

The whole morning was filled with sounds and sights the children won’t forget.

Here are some photographs from the day.
