Portpatrick Primary\u00a0 School has been exceptionally busy celebrating Scottish history and culture over the past few weeks. To celebrate the birthday of Robert Burns, pupils have embraced learning about Scots language and explored both Scottish Saints as well as Robern Burns own life and legacy. Children have, as always, marked the occasion with the traditional competitions; Handwriting, Arts and Crafts and A Poem Recital. Despite restrictions, the children have fully embraced the Burns\/Scots activities and have sent in photographs of the wonderful work they have been doing at home. Judging will commence on Friday with our special guest Alec Ross (former pupil at Portpatrick) and children will be invited to recite their poems live on Microsft Teams to celebrate the event. It is Alec’s own Birthday on Friday and so we hope to be able to give him something to smile about by providing him with an excellent exhibit of live entertainment.<\/p>\n

Good luck to everyone who is taking part and I hope to see you all there.\u00a0 If you have not already done so could you please respond to the e-mail invitation to help with planning and organisation.<\/p>\n

Below are some examples of the excellent work that has been produced by the boys and girls at our fabulous little school.<\/p>\n
