On Tuesday, a number of our P7 pupils visited the Burns’ House museum in Mauchline. We had a great day filled with 3 interesting workshops;

The first workshop saw us use visual arts to retell the story of Tam O’Shanter. Pupils worked in 4 groups to tell a section of the story using light and shadow.

Workshop 2 was a tour of the house Burns lived in with Jean Armour. We dressed up as the characters and learned lots about their lives!

The final workshop was great! We used drama to retell the story of Tam O’Shanter and we all loved getting in to character!

It has been a busy week as we celebrated all things Robert Burns.

Well done to our 3 poetry finalists; Holly, Cameron and Freya. Freya was successful in winning the competition for primary 7.

Lexi  and Harry also took on the roles of compere for our Scots poetry competition – well done!

Friday saw us deliver our class assembly followed by a Burns supper. Well done to all pupils for participating! In particular, thanks to Allyssa, Kate, Ben and Leyton for delivering the toast to, and reply from the lassies. Jacob for delivering the Address to the haggis and Kaedden for the Selkirk Grace.

Thanks to all the family members who joined us this morning. We hope you were left feeling very proud of our pupils!
