As part of our Scotland topic, P3,4,5 were lucky enough to have Piper, Mackenzie (Brodie’s big brother) come and visit us to tell us about his bagpipes. Mackenzie told the class all about the bagpipes and played some tunes for us to hear. The class learned all about the different parts of the bagpipes and asked Mackenzie some very sensible questions to find out more. There were a few pupils very keen to start learning the bagpipes after hearing Mackenzie advise them to start playing at a young age.

We even got to pretend we were a part of Mackenzie’s Pipe Band and marched down the corridor with our ‘pretend’ bagpipes!

Thank you to Mackenzie for giving his time to come and talk to our class, it was very educational and enjoyable.

We tried to copy Mackenzie as he blew into his bagpipes…these were our faces!

The marching band!

Finlay was especially inspired by Mackenzie’s visit and brought in his (brother’s!) practice chanter to play for us.  Well done Finlay!
