Performance Highlights from our Burns supper
Burns Supper
Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting our Burns supper. We were delighted to welcome in our parents/carers and other members of our families.The hall was filled with enthusiasm as everyone read their slide clearly and performed their Burns poem. The children sang a range of Scot’s songs, showing respect for Scotland’s rich literacy heritage. It was a pleasure to see their hard work and preparation come to life in front of an appreciative audience.
This event was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come together, celebrate Scottish Culture and share their learning with others. We finished off by serving a cup of haggis, neeps and tatties to our grown ups! This was all prepared by the children earlier in the day and Mrs Haston, and it was delicious.
We kept to tradition by singing and dancing to auld lang syne before we left school and we enjoyed a treat of a small drink of Irn bru with shortbread. A huge well done to all the children for their fantastic singing, and thank you to all of our guests for helping to make the Burns Supper so special.
Scottish Art
Today we looked at the work of Steven Brown who is a contemporary Scottish artist. We created our own McCoos and decided to give them their own unique characteristics with a Scottish name.
Burns Supper menu
Today we created our own Burns Supper menu and started to calculate how much this would cost. We then took a walk over to the village shop to buy a few desserts for our school Burns Supper.
Our learning wall
This term we have been exploring a little more about how we learn in our school and how the children know they are learning and making progress.
The children feel engaged and curious to learn through our project based learning on birds where they get to self- direct their journey on this topic.
Our learners can recall and discuss their learning especially when it is made visible. Today we took the opportunity during our morning assembly to explore our curriculum closely, ask questions and include our own ideas.

Lights, Camel, Action 2! The sequin
Our nativity rehearsals are well underway today and we can’t wait to present this to our grown ups tomorrow morning. Here are a few sneaky photographs of us rehearsing today in the hall. Every day we are getting better and better and more confident in our words, actions and our singing. We are excited to perform for everyone.
Gingerbread House
On Tuesday we all got to design and create a gingerbread house using icing and biscuits! We absolutely loved this festive activity.
