Scots Wha’ Hae Celebrations! Part Two – The Burns Lunch!
Day two of our Scots Festivities!
Thursday
Thursday, being Rabbie’s birthday, was booked as our day for the annual Burns Lunch. We were lucky enough to have Mr Gaw as our piper and Mr Neville Wright who came along to deliver the Immortal Memory about ‘Rabbie the Rockstar!’. The P1-4 regaled their audience with ‘The Wee Kirkcudbright Centipede’ and P5-7 gave a rousing rendition of The Proclaimers song ‘I’m on my way’. That, alongside our talented recitation winners (thank you to Jenna, Phoebe, Jack, Malcolm, Alexander and Hamish!); those entertaining class songs, Primary 7 pupils with their prepared Burns Lunch speeches and a delicious feast of haggis, neeps and tatties (washed down by that Scottish stalwart of Irn Bru), meant it was an afternoon of fun, friendship and food!
Afterwards the pupils headed outside for a break. Mr Brawls particularly liked the young man in his kilt who was enjoying his game of footie! See below for the snaps.
Check out the blog tomorrow for the final event in our Scots Celebrations – The Scots Showcase Assembly!
