Today, we continued our Scots celebrations by hosting our very own Highland Games. The children competed in a range of traditional games in their clans teams, namely the Jaggy Stags of Ecclefechan and the Crabbit Thistles of Loch Lochy. It was a very tight competition with the Jaggy Staggs winning by the slimmest margin.
Our celebrations continued on Friday 27th of January where we were joined by family and friends in our Scots Showcase assembly. The children received certificates in recognition of their achievements and performed their poems and songs to entertain our audience.
