The children have loved all of the exciting Tartan week activities that have been going on so far this week. On Monday the children had a great time dancing to some traditional Scottish Music. Tuesday was spent trying some Haggis, Neeps and Tatties which some of the children enjoyed and some were a bit unsure of and then in the afternoon they made some yummy shortbread with Angela. Wednesday was a super fun day; spent listening and joining in to the amazing Scottish songs and stories by ‘Aiken Drum’ and in the afternoon we had a visit from a Highland Dancer who showed us her ‘Highland Fling’ and then taught the children and the staff some moves!!!
