The Literacy and Expressive Arts focus since the turn of the year has been all things Scots at Leswalt Primary – from song lyrics to poetry; presentation to artwork; traditional dance to music artists past and present; significant Scottish individuals to research to designing own tartans; the learning has been centred around our homeland.
What better day to celebrate the culmination of this learning than today – 25th January the birthday of Rabbie Burns himself!
Mr McCracken had the tricky task of judging the artwork, handwriting and recitations of all pupils – as well as some very talented singers too.
Following this, the school gathered together in the hall for our annual mini Burns Supper complete with a P7 top table, Hannah in P1 carrying in the haggis, the Selkirk Grace, Address to the Haggis, Toasts tae the Lads, Lassies and School, a busy compere, recitations from pupils from P1 through to P7, singing from both classes and the fabulous trio of Faye, Hamish and Daisy, dancing from Faye and of course a plate of delicious haggis, neeps and tatties!
Our Scots Showcase Assembly will be held this Friday 27th January at 2pm when the pupils will find out who the winners are! Come along and enjoy an afternoon of Scottish entertainment Leswalt Style at 2pm. It’ll be a treat indeed!
