For the last 2 weeks we have learned about the structure of a burns supper, worked on lots of different lessons and then watched it all fall into place on the day. At the burns supper lots of people read out things they had wrote in class like their toasts and immortal memory. People also showed us their music and reading skills and it was one of the highlights of p7 so far!

We invited some special guests to join us at our burns supper – Mr Curley, Mr Bonnar, Reverend Maxwell , Mr Mullen (Emily’s Dad!), Natalie McMillan and Counsellor Gilbert.

The top table were welcomed in by a piper. Ellie read out grace before the meal and Nathan was chosen to read address to the haggis. Katelyn and Megan read out their immortal memory.

Emily, Calum Shearer and Abigail played John Anderson on their Violins and Calum Green played Auld Lang Syne on his Cornet. Lots of people read out one Burns poem which they chose by themselves and everyone chose a different poem!

We learned about the toasts that happen at a burns supper and we all wrote a toast to the laddies or lassies. Everyone wrote their own toast but Devon and Andrew got picked to read theirs out at the supper. They were really funny.

Our favourite part was having haggis, neeps and taties. Lots of us even went up for more when we were finished! We had irn- bru and shortbread too and we listened to people reading out the poem they chose.

We all sang ‘auld lang syne’ at the end of the supper. We hope we remember the lyrics to sing it next Hogmanay.
