Grandparents and family friends joined the boys and girls of Portpatrick Primary for a Burns lunch yesterday. Olivia Schofield kicked off the proceedings by giving the Selkirk Grace, followed by Lachlan and Mr Ross giving the Address to the Haggis. We all then sat down to a traditional, delicious meal of haggis, neeps and tatties (or sausages!) cooked by Barbara, our school cook, followed tea and coffee for the adults and some shortbread.
After the pupils had a short break, the winners of our Scots poetry competition entertained our guests with some fabulous recitals and the classes each sang a Scots song that they have been learning – P4-7 even played the ukulele accompanied by Sean from Feis Rois.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the day such a success – everyone had a fab time!
