It was a day of Scottish celebration in P3 today as we learned about the traditions of a Burns Supper then prepared and held our own class event.
We wrote a ‘Toast to the Lassies’ and the ‘Reply to The Laddies’ to include everyone in our year group. We listened to ‘The Address tae the Haggis’ in Scots language and tried to work out the meaning!
There were tatties to be peeled and mashed ready for our meal.
Tables were decorated and set with our Burns place mats and Highland Coo napkins. The Selkirk Grace was rehearsed ready to be recited before our ‘supper’.
Toasts were made and entertained us all!
Oor delicious haggis, neeps and tatties were devoured…a lot of hungry bairns in P.3 who raved about the ‘Great Chieftain O’ the Puddin Race’!
We were so proud of the children for trying/enjoying the food and showing excellent table manners throughout our Burns Supper.
Next it was on to the music and the dancing with some Scottish favourites like ‘The Three Craws’ to sing along to.
A wee treat of shortbread, Abernethy biscuits and oatcakes rounded off our celebration. Well done P.3 – you did brilliantly today.
A special thank you to Mrs Redman’s Mum who was a magnificent help to us today.
Happy Burns Day (for the 25th) from everyone in P.3!
