Throughout the month of January Kirkcolm Primary have been spending time studying Scotland and celebrating the life of Robert Burns. To conclude the celebrations the annual Burns Showcase Assembly was held on Wednesday afternoon. Parents and friends were invited along to the event. The first placed child in each class recited their poem and the awards were handed out for 2^nd and 3^rd prize. The winners of the Illustration and handwriting categories were also announced and pupils were presented with their certificates. Both classes performed a traditional scots song during the assembly. The upper school sang a beautiful rendition of “Coulters Candy” and the lower school performed an enthusiastic version of “You Cannae Shove Yer Granny off a Bus”. Thank You to all the parents who came along and to all the boys and girls at Kirkcolm Primary for their hard work. What a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all. Below is a summary of the results.
