It is that time of year again where we celebrate our proud Scottish heritage. Everyone came together today to enjoy a social Burns Supper served by our Lovely Laura.
Our House Captains organised the seating plans, naming each table after famous Scots poems. The children also created flag banners and a thistle centre pieces to decorate the tables. There was a wee show of tartan here an there in our attire today too.
In time honoured tradition, everyone stood as the haggis was piped in. Stephen presented the haggis to Mrs Henry, who wonderfully addressed the haggis for everyone’s entertainment. The children were enthralled by her rousing performance of this classic Burns poem.
Next in the proceedings was the Selkirk Grace given by Lily. Laura then served a delicious meal of haggis, neeps and tatties followed by shortbread and butterscotch mousse, which everyone very much enjoyed.
Once the meal was over, Atticus, Conor and Max gave the Toast to the Lassies, with a little bit of tongue-in-cheek teasing. Izzy and Alba responded in kind with their Reply to the Laddies. The vote of thanks was delivered by Ruby and Lily. Everyone did extremely well, particularly those who had stepped in at the last minute due to some absences.
In further entertainment, Primary 1 – 4 sung The Three Craws. Primary 5 – 7 sung The Jelly Piece Song. To bring the event to close, everyone came together to sing Auld Lang’s Syne.
Judging of our poetry recitations and artwork will now be held on Wednesday 2nd of February.
