Primary 7 took place in an annual Dundee Primary School’s Scottish Country Dance Festival on Friday 3rd February 2017 at St Andrew’s Primary School.

In preparation for the Dance Festival, pupils learned a variety of Scottish Country Dances during weekly P.E. lessons.

Getting ready for the parade.

 

Dances included:- Flying Scotsman, Dashing White Sergeant, Simon’s Dance, Reel for Jeannie, Virginia Reel, Cumberland Reel, Gay Gordon’s, Military Two Step, Canadian Barn Dance and the Circassian Circle.

Primary 7 enjoyed practising these dances and Mrs Robertson even managed to have a dance with a few of the P7 boys 🙂  We particularly enjoyed the Flying Scotsman, Military Two Step and the Gay Gordon’s.

At the Festival, we had a parade around the hall then quickly got into our sets to start the Flying Scotsman – Choo Choo!

Mrs Robertson was very proud of the Primary 7 boys and girls attitude throughout the morning’s activities.  Well done everyone 🙂
