Hi Everyone, We hope you all have a great Burns Night to celebrate our National Poet Robert Burns, To celebrate Burns Night the children at Woodhill ELC are being provided with a range of experiences, which will develop their knowledge of Scottish Culture and Dialogue. Here is a story called Clan Mingin’ which was read to us by Sharon. The story is about the Poor Clan Mingin who have no water to wash with, but Lord Much soon gets his comeuppance! The hilarious Scottish children’s tale is about the smelliest ‘clan’ in Scotland.
