The finale to the week for Primary 1, 2 and 3 was a Scots Ceilidh. Primary 2 and 3 wowed us with their ‘St Bernard’s Waltz’ and ‘Canadian Barn Dance’ and we were fair dumfoonart with their rendition of ‘Is a dove a doo, dad?’ which has 5 verses! We were also lucky enough to have Mark McLachlan (S3) who played a selection of his favourite pieces on the pipes and Daniel McDermott (S6), also a piper, who recently was accepted as a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Daniel also played for our Highland Dancers who danced a braw Highland Fling. To finish our ceilidh, Primary 1 and 1-2 taught us how to do the ‘Shooglie Wooglie’ which is a bit like the ‘Hokey Cokey’ but you pit in yer haunds, yer hurdies, yer een, yer baldie heid and, of course, yer big bahoochie!<\/p>\n

We have had a wonderful week and lots of fun, learning about Scotland and the Scots language. <\/p>\n
