On Monday we had a very special assembly. For the last few weeks the whole school have been learning about Scotland, in particular Scots poems to celebrate Burns day on 25th January. Learning about the country they live in is very relevant for the children and helps to celebrate Scots language. Therefore today we had a sharing learning assembly where 2 children from each class volunteered to come up and share their learning with the rest of the Green Unit. They were very confident and some children are definitely mini teachers in the making! It is fantastic to see the wealth of learning across the unit and the hard work from the pupils and teachers.
We discussed how there are famous Scots in the present day such as Andy Murray and then we learned about Robert Burns and how although he is no longer alive, his work is celebrated still and that he is someone that Scots are very proud of. Some P6 children then shared their Scots poems with us which they are learning for the school’s Burns Competition.
If you are celebrating Burns this weekend then I hope you all have a lovely time and enjoy the haggis, neeps and tatties!
Star class of assembly: Congratulations goes to P1S who sat so beautifully, showing good listening and audience skills whilst all the children were sharing their learning.
Star pupils: Well done to our star pupils this week!
