Kells Annual Burns Supper

The pupils of Kells Primary School paid tribute to Scotland’s national bard when they held their annual Burns Supper recently.

The evening was hosted by primary seven pupils.

Guests, pupils, staff, parents and families were treated to speeches and entertainment provided by P5, P6 and P7 pupils.

Florrie delivered the welcome address and introduced the guests and speakers. She then recited the Selkirk Grace.

AJ carried in the haggis to the skirl o’ the pipes played by Glen Cunningham. This was followed by the Georgiana, Amy, Finlay and Hardie reciting the Address To A Haggis after which the P5 and P6 pupils helped serve haggis, neeps and tatties to the guests.

After the supper, Amy and Laura delivered the Immortal Memory.

The Toast to the Lassies was presented by Finlay and Hardie. Evie and Georgiana  made the reply on behalf of the lassies.

After the traditional speeches, P5-7 pupils recited Scots verse and sang the Dark Island, Brochan Lom and the Island Spinning Song.

Thank you to all the parents who supported the Burns Supper.
