Please find attached the P2 and P3 Burns Poems for our Annual Burns Competition. The pupils can select one of the poems for the competition. As part of their reading homework this week the pupils should learn as much of the poem that is appropriate for them (they do not need to read the whole poem). They should be able to read the poem without using the sheet and use expression. We will hold a mini Burns Competition in class on Friday 13th January. The winning pupils from both P2 and P3 classes will go through to the school Burns Competition on 20th January and their parents will be invited along.

As part of our Winter Ready preparation to show that you can access our blog, can you please leave a comment below to say which poem your child is learning.

Good luck!

It is that time of year again where we celebrate one of Scotland’s greats, Robert Burns, at our annual Burns Assembly on January 20th 2017. Please find the two Scots poems for Primary 5 to choose from for this year’s competition. Each child must learn as much of the poem as possible, and we will hold our own in class judging to select the two representatives to perform at the assembly. P4-7 will also then have the opportunity to be chosen to recite their poem and represent Mid Calder at the West Lothian Schools Burns Festival. Good luck and remember to gie it laldy!
