With much of their recent learning having focussed on Scotland and Scottish traditions, the children in the Rainbow Room participated in a little celebration for Burns Day. The haggis was piped in (courtesy of Youtube) as the children marched behind it and we listened to a little of the \u201cAddress to the Haggis\u201d as we sat down to enjoy our special Burns snack at tables covered with tartan made by the children. We all raised our glasses of Irn Bru in a toast to wish Robert Burns a \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 and enjoyed a taste of haggis, tatties, neeps, tattie scones, oatcakes and cheese. Everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion and even those who were a little unsure to try new foods had smiles on their faces at our little gathering.<\/p>\n
