We have been learning all about Robert or “Rabbie” Burns. As part of our Burns celebrations we have been reading Scottish books – “Thi Dundee Gruffalo” and “There was a wee lassie who swallowed a midgie”, we had some Scottish snack of scones and shortie and Mrs Hutcheson brought in her very special Burns book from home – it is 200 years old!!!. The children enjoyed all aspects of the day and found some of the Scottish words really funny. They were astonished at how old Mrs Hutcheson’s book was and could tell it was really old as it was as the children said –  “all scuffed”, “looks dirty”, “has gold pages”, “is really big and heavy!!”.
