Burns Supper

Posted by: | January 27, 2012 | 2 Comments |

We had a great night at our Burns Supper. It was super to see so many of our friends and families come together for an evening of songs, poems, speeches and dance. Scott White piped in the P6/7s and the star of the evening. Craig was our Chairman, Amy brought in the haggis, Ross and Emily recited the Address to the Haggis, Lewis W recited the Selkirk Grace,  Jordon gave the toast to the lassies while Cara and Emily B replied.  Mrs Henry played while we sang four new songs she had taught us. The Island Spinning song – solo Sabrina, Vair Me O – solo Lewis G, Liberty – solos Kyle, Emily B, Charlotte and Ariene, Auld Lang Syne – solos James and Aiden. Ellen and Kimberly performed on the fiddle and clarinet and we ended with dancing ‘Dunnet Head’ which Mr and Mrs Tyrrell taught us. Mrs Porteous and Mrs Austin cooked haggis and vegetables prepared by our parents. Mrs Harvie S2 and 3 pupils served food and washed up dishes while we relaxed. Mr Murray set up microphones and Mr Goodwin recorded the night. Lorna and David decorated the hall with Burns paintings and Miss Tranter ensured lines were learned, programmes printed and resources found.  Many thanks to everyone who helped make this such an enjoyable community evening.

Mrs Nelson came to show us how to make table decorations for our Burns Supper. Lorna and ‘helpers’ gathered foliage from the school gardens for the displays. Miss Tranter, Joshua and Annabelle decorated flower pots with Black Watch tartan ribbon. Sabrina, Emily and Amy then arranged the flowers and foliage into these beautiful decorations. They looked fantastic on the table at our Burns Supper. Liz Hunter from Tesco visited to bring us juice and napkins for at our Burns Supper. Thanks to everyone who helped.

Cameron had a fantastic day on Saturday as team mascot. He is wearing his new Partick Thistle football shirt signed by the team. He met all the players, got autographs, led his team onto the pitch and even kicked the game into play. A brilliant day for him (and his Dad).

As a result of all the orders made through the Puffin Book Club our school got all these fabulous books free as commission. Everyone in the school voted for which books they wanted to buy and then Mrs Banner and her team of Puffineers collated all the votes, ordered the top books and now they are in our library. How fab is that?

Books, books and more books!!!!

This year our class opened the Christmas concert with three songs about the Victorians. Especially well done to our solo singers who sang the parts of orphans dreaming of a beautiful Christmas full of delicious food.

Good Neighbours Concert

Again this year members of the Tuesday Club came and watched us perform for them. This gives us a great chance to have a ‘dress rehearsal’ before the Christmas show with the safety of knowing they would forgive any wee slips we made and still reward us with lots of yummy home baking – perfect.
