Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 turned their classrooms into Tartan Tearooms as part of JLB’s Burns Day celebrations. This enterprise involved the children writing a list of everything they would need to run a tearoom in their classes, making posters to advertise the event and making tickets to sell to everyone in the school. The uptake of tickets was very positive and almost every child and many adults in our school visited the Tartan Tearooms.
We were delighted to see some children from the Pre-5 Unit who also paid us a visit . They were all welcomed with the sound of Scottish country dance music and there were even a few impromptu jigs performed by some of our happy customers! The customers had the opportunity to enjoy some fine Scottish fayre in the form of haggis, scotch broth, oatcakes and cheddar cheese, scotch pancakes with raspberry jam and some lovely shortbread, washed down with still or sparkling spring water or even a refreshing glass of diet Irn Bru.
A great time was had by all and Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 made a profit which will allow them to choose some new things for their classes. A fantastic success!
