Celebrating Robert Burns

Robert Burns was born in Alloway on 25th January 1759. Every January on his birthday people all round the world celebrate by having a Burns Supper and reciting his poetry and singing his songs.
We are having an Assembly and our class will be reading two of his poems in dialect.

AULD LANG SYNE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.


And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o’ thine,
And we’ll take a right guid willie-waught
For auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
