At this time of year we traditionally celebrate the life, times and works of our national bard Robert Burns and have enjoyed some really successful events over the last few years. We are keen to encourage children to learn about Robert Burns this year despite the current situation. We are always blown away by the talent of our children.
As we do every year, we have allocated a poem for each stage and encourage children to do their best to learn the poem. If the children want to they can be recorded reciting their allocated poem and this can either be emailed to their teacher or uploaded to MS Teams to share with their class.
A video will be created of some of the selected performances to be shared with the school community to enjoy.
If you / your child would like to record their recitation please upload or email this by Wednesday 27th January.
Please see the table below detailing the allocated poems for each stage. For the P5/6 class, if P5 children can learn ‘The Boy in the Train’ and P6 children ‘To a Mouse’.
I have attached links to each of the poems below the table.
| Stage | Poem |
| P1 | Up in the Morning Early |
| P2 | My Hoggie |
| P3 | The Sair Finger |
| P4 | Michael |
| P5 | The Boy in the Train |
| P6 | To a Mouse |
| P7 | Tam o’ Shanter |
The emphasis is on enjoyment and we look forward to seeing and hearing some of the recitations. They are always very entertaining and make us smile.
If any of our talented musicians would like to send a musical performance, this would also be very welcomed and can be shared with the school community.
Thank you
