On the 24^th January the P7s held a Burns Supper for their parents and Friends of Quarryhill primary school. The haggis was piped in by Aaron from Harlaw Academy. Jordan and Ciara did the Address to The Haggis. Then we and the parents and friends ate haggis, neeps and tatties.

Some of the class did toasts to Robert Burns and they were Lauren, Brooklyn, Glen, Paul, Jade and Olivia. Then after they did the toasts we had to sing two songs called Flower O Scotland and Letter from America. After that we chatted to our parents and friends and then we went back up to class. On Friday the whole class had to sing a Letter from America and Flower o Scotland in assembly.

Room 15 had a task to do about Robert Burns. We needed to go the ICT suite and get facts about him. We only got two days to get the facts. We worked in groups of three. We worked really hard and everyone got a lot of facts.

After the two sessions in the computer suite we had to make a presentation on what we found out. The groups were pretty good. Most people used A2 paper. We had one hour and a quarter. Every group got finished in the time they had. Some of the groups were one person down at times but they still managed to complete the task.

Most people had fun and learned a lot. We thought the task was really worth it.

Mr Pirrie told us to go to the dinner ladies to ask them some questions about the Burns Supper, but they couldn’t give us any answers to our questions because the head cook was absent. We asked Mrs McDonald the questions instead and she gave us the cost and the date that the kitchen had to know how many people were going. Then Mrs McDonald gave us some Scottish music CDs to take up to Mr Pirrie.
