Primary 4 have been learning about the very famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns. We now know lots of facts about him!<\/p>\n
Milo \u2013 Robert Burns is sometimes called \u2018Rabbie\u2019.<\/p>\n
Erin \u2013 He is a famous poet and songwriter who lived in the 1700s.<\/p>\n
Tatenda \u2013 He started writing poems when he was younger to impress the ladies.<\/p>\n
Finlay A. \u2013 He lived in a cottage in Alloway.<\/p>\n
Alex \u2013 Robert Burns grew up on a farm. His Dad died when he was 25 so Rabbie had to take over the farm with his brother.<\/p>\n
Ellie \u2013 Robert Burns died when he was only 37 years old.<\/p>\n
On Robert Burns Day we celebrated in class by tasting some Scottish foods and celebrating our Scottish culture.<\/p>\n
Neve, Neve, Fallon and Carson entertained us with some Highland Dancing. Finlay F. treated us to \u2018Auld Lang Syne\u2019 and both he and Connor played \u2018Scotland the Brave\u2019. Matthew read one of Burns’ famous poems called \u2018Address to the Haggis\u2019.<\/p>\n
We got to taste haggis, shortbread, oatcakes and Irn-Bru. Yum! We took a vote to see which was the most popular of the foods. Irn-Bru had the most votes, while haggis had the least number of votes because it was ‘too spicy’!<\/p>\n
