P7 pupils at Kells Primary hosted the annual Burns Supper in the school hall recently.

Invited guests, pupils, school staff, parents and family members enjoyed the speeches and entertainment that was provided by P5/6/7 pupils.

Erin and Amberleigh delivered the welcome address and introduced each invited guest and speaker. The Selkirk Grace was then recited by Oliver. Hannah carried in the haggis to the skirl o’ the pipes played by Mr Glen Cunningham. Kyle and Oliver recited the Address tae a Haggis. The primary 6 pupils helped serve the traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties.

The Immortal Memory was presented by Mia and Poppy..

The Toast tae the Lassies was presented by Freddie and Kyle.

The Lassies Reply was made by Hannah and Kelsie.

There were recitations of Scots Poetry from Florrie, Georgiana, Yelena & Jasmin.

The School Choir sang Loch Lomond and Flower of Scotland.

A very enjoyable evening was concluded with everyone singing Auld Lang Syne.
