The staff and pupils got together today to toast in the New Year and enjoy some Scottish traditions as it was the first opportunity we’d all had to be together and to wish everyone all the best for 2025!
A toast was raised with some Irn Bru and a piece of shortbread followed by a rousing rendition of Auld Lamg Syne. We also had a chat about the significance of Rabbie Burns – as Scots poems are being issued this week!
Then it was through to the hall for our very own Leswalt Primary Ceilidh!
The Gay Gordons had everyone smiling and a little out of breath then it was on to a birl through the Canadian Barn Dance! We ended with an attempt at Strip the Willow – great fun but we might have a few more shots to get it right!
We have decided to enjoy some Scottish dance throughout January Scots Month as part of our P.E.. We can’t wait for Ceilidh Mondays when we’ll be twirling and jigging like pros in no time!
