P7 Poetry Competition

What a fantastic morning we had today at our whole school poetry competition.
We were very proud of our 3 poets who recited Tam O’Shanter with such confidence and expression. They were richt guid!
Mr Borland started our competition off with a fabulous poem that he had written, inspired by our Burns Supper last week. He inspired us to be confident and speak from the heart.
Here is a copy of his fabulous poem for you to read:

While we waited for the judges (Mrs M Ross, Mrs Sinclair and Mr Borland) to make their decision, the whole school had lots of fun singing and dancing together in the hall.

 

P7 Special Guest

We were delighted to welcome Mr Borland to class this week to hear him recite Tam O’Shanter and The Address to the Haggis. We loved listening to him perform and he then listened to our performances ahead of our Burns Supper on Friday. He was so impressed with us all and give us a couple of hints and tips to improve our performances.
We are looking forward to Mr Borland being one of the judges at our poetry competition next week.
