Students were involved in writing and reading Burns&#8217; poetry as well as researching the life and times of Burns. Pupils made up their very own \u2018old Scots\u2019 poems in memory of Robert Burns and all things Scottish. The highlight of the week was when all First Year Students meet in the theatre for Taylor\u2019s very first and not to be the last \u2018Alternative Burns\u2019 Supper\u2019. Mr. Mark Dorris (Principal Teacher of Mathematics) began the Supper when he delivered the powerful \u2018Selkirk Grace\u2019. Afterwards was the processions of tea-cakes, caramel wafers, snowballs, shortbread and Irn-Bru! Some of our First Year\u2019s then recited their own poems and The \u2018Alternative Address to the Haggis\u2019. It was a fantastic event and a great time was had by all involved. Check out of twitter feed for some videos of the day. Thanks to the English Department and Mrs. Mary Jo Burton (Principal Teacher of English) for all their hard work for this day!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/taylor\/files\/2016\/02\/DSC_6947.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5858\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/taylor\/files\/2016\/02\/DSC_6947.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_6947\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1164\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All students in First Year have been working in English on the work of Burns in preparation for Burns&#8217; Day.
