Our annual Burns’ Museum Trip in preparation for our Burns’ Supper on Wednesday 6th February 2019, took place on Tuesday 27th November. Pupils from across S1 and S2 participated in a variety of activities including a Tam O’Shanter drama and public debating workshop. Pupils were so enthusiastic and engaged – everyone who worked with the pupils (and even members of the public who chatted with them) complimented them on their participation and brilliant behaviour. Well done Burns bairns!
We are delighted to share with you a lovely email from an ex-teacher who was visiting the Museum alongside our pupils. We are so proud of our young people and how they represented themselves, the school and the community!
“Hullo there…I would be grateful if you could pass this on to your head teacher….I am a retired teacher and was visiting the Burns museum yesterday. It soon became obvious that there was school visit going on and as an ex-teacher I duly was watching the kids. I was impressed by their attentive nature to the exhibitions on view and the conversations I had with some of them. All were polite and well mannered, I even ended up helping a few identifying some of the ‘personalities’ on view. Indeed their presence enhanced the day for me…
Yours aye Scott Murray
ex-Alva Academy….”
