What a busy day we’ve had celebrating Burns and all things Scottish!<\/p>\n

Mrs Mary Milroy arrive at 9am this morning to judge our poetry recital, artwork and handwriting competitions. She had some very difficult decisions to make and commented on how hard all the boys and girls had worked.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we headed into the hall for our annual Burns Lunch, which the Nursery boys and girls joined us for. After our Chairperson Innes welcomed everybody, Mr Andy Nicoll piped in the haggis, carried by the oldest and youngest pupils in the school, Finlay Nelson and Archie Ashton. Jack Barret gave an animated Address to the Haggis and then we all tucked into our delicious, traditional Burns lunch of haggis, neeps and tatties kindly cooked by Ann Marie.<\/p>\n

We were then all entertained as Primary 6 and 7 pupils gave toasts, the 1st place winners of the poetry recital competitions said their poems, and each class performed a Scots song that they have been learning.<\/p>\n
