Burns Night 2023

At lunchtime on Tuesday we held a special lunch for “Burns Night” to celebrate the life of Robert Burns.

Everyone stood while the haggis was brought in.  Our P7 class “addressed the haggis” before we all sat down to a lunch of haggis, neeps and tatties, washed down by our National drink, irnbru!

Robert Burns, known familiarly as 'Rabbie Burns', was a Scottish poet and lyricist born in 1759.
