Once again the children around Scotland entertained us with their singing and dancing during Glowing Thursday’s ‘Scotland’s Got Christmas Talent’. The afternoon was filled with renditions of Jingle Bell Rock, All I want for Christmas is You and a wonderful array of songs from school shows and pantos.

A huge thanks goes to all the individuals and classes who took part that afternoon and to their teachers for making it happen!! We were delighted that we were also joined by many other schools who were our audience and kept writing wonderful comments about the performances. “Fantastic”, “brilliant” and “well done” are amongst a few of the comments made on our public message board.

Thanks again to all those who took part and we hope to have another event like this in the summer term – and find even more homegrown Scottish talent!!

As the school term neared a close across Scotland, Glowing Thursday held a very special event to entertain and involve schools from across the country.

Scotland’s Got Talent saw an inspiring afternoon of children from primaries and secondaries dancing, singing, doing comedy acts, playing musical instruments and even doing the Highland Fling!! Fourteen acts including schools in the Western Isles, East Lothian and North Lanarkshire all took part via Glow Meet to entertain more than 28 other classes throughout Scotland.

For some schools this was the first time that they had ever taken part in a Glow Meet and it was well receved by all. One teacher said “I thought the talent showcase was a great success” and another thought ‘It was good to see different schools’ settings for their acts and to see what works and what didn’t.’

All participants will receive a certificate and a small thank you gift for all their hard work and for keeping Scotland entertained at the end of a very long term!

A new schedule for next session’s Glowing Thursdays will be available at the beginning of August and will include ‘Scotland’s Christmas Talent’, so if you missed out this time make sure you join in with the next one. Find out more at http://www.glowhelp.me/thursdays
