Today we learned a little bit about Robert Burns.  We heard children reciting their Scottish Poems and the nursery sang us 3 Scottish songs they had learned.  Children from P7 entertained us with tunes on the fiddle and Irish dancing and P4 danced the fling and the sword dance.  Miss Walker explained that a long time ago the swords were taken to battle and at the end of the battle people would dance across their swords, if you touched the sword it meant that the next battle maybe would not go well.  Thank you to everyone who took part today,  Oor Wullie and our Penguin also got dressed up for the occasion and came along to assembly.
