P6S had a great day at the Robert Burns Museum. We saw many of the places in the poem Tam O’Shanter including the Brigadoon (we all crossed the key stone and discovered that thankfully none of us were witches, including Mrs Stevenson!!!) and the Auld Kirk. It was very interesting to see these places and we showed our great knowledge of Robert Burns and Tam O’Shanter. We really enjoyed dressing up and visiting the cottage. Mrs Stevenson would like to thank Ranger Pete and the parent helpers who came and would also like to thank the children for their very good behaviour. They were excellent representatives for Dalry Primary school.

Write one thing you learned during the trip and one thing you enjoyed.

Mrs Stevenson: I learned why a tail coat is called a tail coat. I enjoyed seeing everyone dressed up!

P6 and P6/5 have been very busy over the past couple of weeks thinking about Fairtrade. We had a Fairtrade Coffee Morning last Tuesday.  Many thanks to all the family members who attended and a huge thank you to everyone who baked the delicious Fairtrade cakes. We have also been running a Fairtrade nail and hand painting bar. Thanks to all the children who volunteered their time to help with this and all the parents who donated money.

Here are some photos of the events.

What did you learn during Fairtrade Fortnight? What did you enjoy?
