On Wednesday the partitions between the classrooms came down and P5 and P4 enjoyed an afternoon of poetry, song and dance to celebrate the birth of Robbie Burns.The haggis was piped in and addressed by children from P5/5. P4/6 recited the Selkirk grace and then it was time for juice and shortbread before the competition began. Each class had worked really hard to learn their poems, and all of the finalists did a fantastic job. The afternoon ended with a performance of Highland dancing, followed by Auld Lang Syne.

P6 has been very busy learning about Space and Technology. As well as that they have also have been doing lots of things about Robert  Burns.

We have had a lot of enteries but we really NEED much much more.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Primary two are doing a lot of Scottish things. They have already made a map of Scotland and a display.

The blog club are asking you to enter this fantastic competition. Write a scottish-themed poem or limerick and add using the comment button. Alternatively write your poem down and give it to your teacher. There are some fab prizes to be won. Here is an example:
There was an auld wifie fae Macduff
Who woke up one day in a huff
She louped oot o’ bed
Skelped the tap o’ er her head
And yelled, ‘That’s it! Enough is enough!’
Thank you to Mrs Laing, Mrs Maclean, Miss PS and Miss Bremner for your contribution!

PS. This poem was written by Lois in P5/6/17.
As she also provided me with an illustration, I thought that I would upload both here rather than add as a comment. This is her poem.

Oh the haggis was affa fine,
We’ neeps, tatties and a wee sup o’ wine
Some people dinna like it you see,
But it’s just the richt supper for me.
