Class of 2024

Apologies about the delay on the copy of ‘Donald where yer troosers’ lyrics. These will be given out to pupils tomorrow! In the meantime pupils can be practicing with the lyrics from our previous blog post.

Our whole school burns celebration has been changed to Friday 24th January. If possible could pupils bring in a pair of sunglasses by Thursday this week for their performance. Also, if anyone has any blow up/toy guitars, microphones or any instruments and you wouldn’t mind letting P2 borrow them for their performance on Friday could you please send them into school by Thursday.

Many thanks,

Miss McFlynn and Miss Cathcart 🙂

On Wednesday 29th January the whole school will be participating in a ‘Burns Assembly’. On this day every class will be performing something Scottish to the rest of the school as part of the celebration.

Primary 2 will be performing ‘Donald Where’s Yer Troosers?’. Pupils will be given many opportunities to practice the song in school over the next coming weeks, however, it would be also be very helpful if you could practice the lyrics to this song with your child at home as well.  Pupils will be given out an A4 sheet with the lyrics on it by the end of the week. Below is a copy and a link to the song on youtube.

I’ve just come down
From the Isle of Skye
I’m not very big and I’m awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Donald, where’s your troosers

[Chorus:]
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets
In my kilt, I’ll go
All the lassies say hello
Donald, where’s your troosers

A lassie took me to a ball

And it was slippery in the hall
And I was feared that I would fall
For I had nae on my troosers

[Repeat Chorus]
Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
The ladies turned their heads around
Saying, Donald, where are your trousers

[Repeat Chorus]
To wear the kilt is my delight
It is not wrong I know it’s right
The Highlanders would get a fright
If they saw me in the trousers

[Repeat Chorus]
The lassies want me every one
Well, let them catch me if they can
You canna take the breaks
If a Highland man
And I don’t wear the troosers

[Repeat Chorus]

For homework this week Primary 2 should be continuing to practice their lines and song lyrics for the nativity. Please practice lines before and after with the pupils so they know when their queue to come in is.

Pupils have also been asked to pick a book every night to read for enjoyment. If you do not have any books at home pupils are allowed to take one from the class library to read at home.

There has been no other homework assigned this week as we would like the lines to be the focus. If you wish pupils can play Sumdog this week to practice their number bonds. Pupils should know their log ins, however, please ask if you need another copy of this.

REMINDER: All nativity tickets must be paid for through parent pay before you can receive them. Please do this as soon as possible.
