Wednesday the 25th of January was Burns’ Day….a day to celebrate Scottish Poet Robert Burns. As part of our Scotland topic, we learned some facts about Burns and learned about the traditions of a Burns’ Supper.
On Wednesday afternoon, we had our own Burns’ supper. For many of us, this was the first time we’d tried haggis!
We tried to follow as many of the ceremony’s traditions as we could…we ‘piped’ in the haggis, and addressed it too! We even had some brave pupils reading out some Scots and Shetland dialect poems.
We made shortbread, which was a tasty treat to finish the day. Altogether, Burns’ Day wis braw 🙂
