Following on from our Burns Supper celebration on the 25th of January, Mr Alec Ross arrived today to judge our annual poetry competition for the children. He came dressed for the occasion in a dashing pair of tartan trews and many of the children also got into the spirit of the day with splashes of tartan and plaid being worn.
There were three categories to our event:
- Poetry handwriting
- Poetry recitation
- Poetry artwork
It was very clear to see that all of the children have worked very hard to learn their poems and use expression and action to bring them alive in an entertaining performance. The level of creativity in this year’s artwork was very high, with great imagination demonstrated by all.
It was quite a challenge to select winners from each primary as the standard was so high. Here are this year’s results:
