Burns Day

Friday 25th January was Robert Burn’s birthday and to celebrate in the 2’s we baked him a cake, well a clootie dumpling to be precise. The children had lots of fun weighing out ingredients, cracking eggs, mixing the mixture and smelling the different spices that go into the dumpling. Whilst our dumpling was cooking we had a traditional Burns super of vegetarian haggis, neeps and tatties. It was delicious. We ending our busy session by listening to poems by Burns and singing some Scottish favourites, like “You canna shove your grannie off the bus!!”.
