This week we have been listening to lots of Scottish stories and talking about Scots words. We learned that Robert Burns was famous for writing Scots songs and poems and today we celebrated his birthday by having our own Burns Supper in class.

This included toasts to the laddies and lassies which we had written ourselves and a toast to the haggis (crisps!) read by Mrs Smith.  We enjoyed our Scottish snacks which also included shortbread and tablet that Mrs Smith had kindly made for us.  As you will see from the photographs there was lots of dancing to Scottish music! At our Scottish assembly we sang Heid, Shooders, Knaps an Taes – not a traditional Scots song but a nice way to end our special Scottish morning!
