Our annual celebration of Scots poetry was celebrated on 27th January this year to comemorate the birth of Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet.  As always, the children practised very hard to learn a Scottish poem.  Then the infant and nursery classes sang a Scottish song, some other classes recited their poem as a whole class and finally, from P.3 to P.7 three children from each class were chosen to recite their poem on Stage in front of the Judges who chose a winner from each class.  Everyone also participated in an Art competition, illustrating their class’s poem.  Again a winner was chosen from each class.  All of the winners and runners up were awarded a certificate during our Monday morning assembly.  In addition, the children were allowed to come to school wearing blue or tartan.  We thoroughly enjoyed our day and especially the irn bru and shortbread!
