Coalsnaugton Primary School 3/4 pupils have risen to a challenge to create their very own school circus.....with a little help from a friend or two.
As part of a project this term, the youngsters at school have been hard at work to create their own circus called, 'The Wee 3/4 Circus'.
They were split into their 'circus families' - The Clowns, Acrobats and Lion Tamers - and worked co-operatively with each other to plan for a grand finale in June which they will perform to the whole school, family and friends.
The children have also been contacted by Bubble the clown through GLOW -
the online community for Scottish School who has offered to give the children advice and help on their ambitious project.
Recently, The Big Kid Circus" who are travelling around Scotland, have arrived in Alloa for three nights at the West End Park.
Head teacher Lorna Bernard, said: "They heard about our hard work and kindly offered their time and invited the pupils along to the circus to visit and meet them. This gave the boys and girls an opportunity to ask questions, observe tricks and see the different costumes and make-up which the different performers wear.
"The boys and girls will use the information which they gathered from their visit, to plan
for their own individual acts in their Circus."
Family and friends will be invited to attend the launch of 'The Wee 3/4 Circus' on 13th June.
