Dear Parents and Carers,

Fernielea is having a Burns Event on Friday 24th January. In P3, the children have taken home this week, a poem to learn and recite for the event. It is called ‘Coulter’s Candy’ – a well-known Scottish verse and song. Please practice the poem with your child, if possible; learning the poem is an additional piece of homework for the next two weeks. We have gone over it in class, analysing the structure of the poem, the language, as well as taking about how to memorise poetry.

Thank you – and a very happy Burns Night when it arrives!

Miss Wilson
