The boys and girls have been working extremely hard throughout the month of January, doing all things Scots! They had 3 challenges to complete – to learn their poem and practise reciting it with great gusto; to write out their poem in their best handwriting; and to create a piece of artwork linked to their poem.
On Monday, our judge (Mrs Noelle McClure) had the very difficult and unenviable decision of selecting the winners – we had a few joint winners as it was so close!
Today, we held our Scots Showcase assembly, where lots of parents and family members came into school to celebrate the pupils’ successes. They were presented with certificates and performed some lovely Scots songs to entertain the adults – P1-4 sang “Three Craws” and P5-7 performed the beautiful “My Heart’s in the Highlands.”
Below is a list of the placed winners – but well done to all the pupils in the school for all the effort you have put in over the last 3 weeks!
