We welcomed Ben and Ryan, pipers from Deans Community High School, to kick the\u00a0afternoon off in front of our audience of invited guests. Special Guest, Mr Coulter, addressed the haggis before everyone sat down to a meal of soup, stovies\u00a0and a choice of dessert. The food was either made by members of\u00a0staff or donated by Morrison&#8217;s Supermarket, so a huge thank you to everyone\u00a0who provided food. Of course, having the food is\u00a0no good unless you have people to serve it, so a huge thank you to Eveleyn and Karen, our lunch ladies, who stayed on after their usual duties to serve up the goodies. Naturally, our Pupil Support Workers and Primary 7 pupils did a great job of decorating and serving tables, etc,\u00a0so another thank you to them.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was &#8216;on with the show&#8217;. Every child in the Primary School and a group from the Nursery performed songs, poems and\u00a0dances to entertain our audience, who were delighted with the\u00a0quality and variety of\u00a0the talent on offer. The afternoon finished on a high\u00a0note as Rebekah Douglas sang a solo version of &#8216;Ae Fond Kiss&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The whole event was organised\u00a0and run (with very little help from any adults) by our Senior Challenge Group under the leadership\u00a0of Ms Smith. Sam and Sophia comp\u00e9red\u00a0the show, Andrew and Cameron videoed the whole affair for posterity, Jennifer operated the computer and many others worked away in the background welcoming guests and doing &#8216;runners&#8217; to collect the\u00a0classes and organise\u00a0them for their\u00a0performances &#8211; all did a stupendous job. The afternoon finished when all of our invited guests were presented with the now famous &#8216;Carmondean Bag&#8217; and a limited edition calendar produced by children in the school.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/Carmondean\/files\/2016\/01\/Calendar.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2887\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/Carmondean\/files\/2016\/01\/Calendar-300x215.png\" alt=\"Calendar\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was our annual Scots Afternoon today at Carmondean Primary School and what an outstanding success it turned out to be.
