Burns Supper

We  had our Burns Supper on Friday.  Mrs Arbuckle told us all about Robert Burns and we watched the story of Tam O’Shanter .  It was quite scary, but we know it was only his imagination.  Mrs Arbuckle said the Selkirk Grace before we started to eat our oatcakes and cheese and we ate our shortbread and we drank orange juice.  It was delicious.  Our school lunch had also offered us haggis, neeps  and tatties  if we wanted it. At the end, we sang “Auld Lang Syne”.  ( We know all the words!)

Burns Speaker

The brilliant Angus Middleton came into school on Friday for our Burns Assembly and to talk to P1.3.  Angus is a past President of the Robert Burns World Federation and gives talks to lots of people  and judges Burns competitions all over the world. He watched the rehearsal of our Assembly and was very impressed.  We had prepared questions for him and he was able to give us all the answers. Thank you for visiting us, Angus!

 

 

 

Burns Assembly

We performed at the Burns Assembly and recited the poem “In My Wee Red Motor”.  We were brilliant. The Primary 5’s are hosting their Burns Supper on Thursday night and sang their Burns songs .  Angus Middleton, a Burns expert, came along to talk to us too.  It was a great afternoon.

Our Santa Selfies

We  read the story “Santa Selfie”by Peter Bentley.  Santa gets so fed up with people asking him for a selfie whenever he goes out.  He goes on holiday and he is inducted for selfie requests.  He decides to go home as the elves and Mrs Claus don’t bother him.  We then took our own Santa selfies. 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

 

 

Nativity- Behind the scenes!

We have been rehearsing and rehearsing till we are almost perfect.  The stage is up, the manger is  in place  and the baby Jesus is sleeping in the crib.  It is time for us to have our dress rehearsal. It is very scary performing in front of the big children.   We did it!   We were a big success!

We look performing for you all this week. All Nativity tickets were  put in folders on Thursday.
