Burns Day Song 2026 - Jeely Piece Song

Scottish Song for Burns Day

Leave a comment
Well, after a near unanimous vote, the children decided on learning the Jeely Piece Song for Burns Day this year. The energy in the room as the children sang their first attempt after hearing it for the first time was unmatched. Over the coming weeks, we look forward to disecting and learning more about the story behind the song, as well as learning the song itself for you all to enjoy on the 23rd January.

You will find links to the YouTube video and lyrics for the song below. Please note, I have included all verses in the lyrics below, we may not do all of these, we will see how the children get on and choose their favourites.

Happy new year and welcome back to Primary 3/4.

Firstly a huge thank you to all our pupils, parents and carers for our very generous and thoughtful gifts. We appreciate it very much.

We look forward to kick-starting the new term with all things Scottish in preparation for our Burns assembly at the end of January. Our poems will be posted for practise and are as follows-

Jobs in our Community

P3/4 have been learning about jobs and services in our community. In literacy we created questions to ask our visitors to learn more about their jobs and how they use skills from school in their jobs.

We have been lucky enough to have Lynn, Margaret, Amy, Mr Fiddes, Jen and Ed in to visit us. We have learned so much about our community and the work that goes on in the village.

On Friday 15th November, we held an achievement assembly to celebrate our learners. We selected four pupils from each class to receive a certificate matching to one of the four capacities of curriculum for excellence.

More information about the four capacities can be found here-

 

Our first certificates were awarded to Oliver, Wallace, Illy and Ellie. Well done!

We loved hearing about the children’s wider achievements too. Look out for our SWAY for more celebrations.
