For the last few weeks Primary 7 have been busy learning their extracts from Tam O’Shanter for the annual P7 Burns Competition.

The children have worked extremely hard to learn the pieces, as well as applying their drama skills, using facial expressions and actions, to retell the story.
They were also challenged with choosing a scene from the poem to collage. The children used a variety of materials to create some wonderful finished pieces, which can be seen below.

On Thursday 16th February, Mr Cathro came to judge both the poetry and collage competitions. Our winners were as follows:

Poetry
1st – Leon Pipe
2nd – Orrin Carson
3rd – Sam McKnight

Collage
1st – Molly Boynton
2nd – Tamzin Jolley
3rd – Kerrie Pendleton

Miss Clendinning, Mrs Burn and Mrs Duncan were all very proud of all of the children for their effort. Well done everyone!!!
