A Scottish Assembly

Burns Night is tomorrow, and to celebrate we shared some of our Scotland topic activities at a Class Assembly this afternoon. We had a fantastic turnout, with lots of support from our families - thank you everyone for coming!

Here is flavour of this afternoon's event:

 

Thanks once again to The Wrigley Sisters for allowing us to use their music.

This time it is The North Ron Reel South Ron Run from their album Skyran.

Making Shortbread

 

The food group have begun making shortbread for the Class 5 Assembly.

Thanks for the help Mrs Humphries and Mrs Brown!

Celebrating Robert Burns

We made haggis and clapshot. It is traditional to have haggis and clapshot at a Burns Supper on the 25th of January which is Robert Burns' birthday. Robert Burns was a famous poet and songwriter.



This is our picture of The Tale of Tam O' Shanter by Robert Burns.





The ingredients of haggis are sheeps heart, liver and lungs.
Clapshot is mashed potatoes and turnip.

Peel, chop, boil, mash... EAT!

Thanks you Mrs Humphries for helping us prepare the haggis and clapshot.

Happy Holidays!

 

Here are some of the pop-up gingerbread houses we made in the last week of term with real sugar and sweetie decorations.

We took inspiration from the video below when thinking about the forest setting for our fairytale houses. If you look very carefully you might be able to find a few forest creatures in our pop-up pictures, perhaps even a fox!

  

Our homework this week...

...was performing in the Primary School Christmas Musical! On Tuesday evening the hall was packed and just like in the play itself the performance turned out to be fantastic! The singing was super and the acting was excellent! Everyone really enjoyed it - let's hope for another cracking performance on Thursday afternoon. Well done classes 5, 6 and 7.
