Robert Burns known as Rabbie Burns lived on a croft. Rabbie’s dad died when he was 25. His brother and him looked after the farm. Rabbie started to write poems and songs to impress girls. Robbie died at the age of 37. His most famous song is Auld Lang Syne.

We have Burns supper every year. At our Burns supper we say poems, sing songs and best of all….. Eat haggis! I said a poem with Jessica, it was called ‘Feart’ by Liz Niven. My favourite part was when we were singing Auld Lang Syne. We practised for two whole weeks! I liked doing the Burns supper.

On the 25th of January, we had a Burns supper at the school. My
favourite song was ‘Donald, where’s your troosers?’ and my favourite poem was ‘Shalls’ that P2 recited. I did ‘Tirval Trow’ by Robbie Walterson. I wore a kilt it was a green kilt with yellow and blue stripes. After P2 said the Selkirk Grace we had our supper. We had haggis, neeps and totties, and for pudding we had shortbread – that was my favourite part.
