Primary 1/2 have enjoyed their first week back after the Christmas holidays and are making a great start on their Scots poem.

They finished the week with some activities led by Primary 6/7 which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Have a lovely weekend.

Primary 1/2 will be learning ‘Up in the morning early’ by Robert Burns and the song ‘Bonnie wee Jeanie McColl.’

Please find a copy of the words below and some links to watch both online.

Up in the Morning Early

Robert Burns

Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
The drift is driving sairly;
Sae loud and shrill’s I hear the blast,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly.

Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure its winter fairly.

The birds sit chittering in the thorn,
A’ day they fare but sparely;
And lang’s the night frae e’en to morn,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly.

Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure its winter fairly.
