P1 Pupils explore Scottish and Local Culture

P1 ceilidhAll the Primary one classes enjoyed their January ceilidh, singing Scottish songs such as Three Craws, Ally Bally and O Ye Cannae Shove Your Granny Aff a Bus, dancing a highland fling and reciting Scottish poems, while dressed in their tartan best. Some of the older pupils entertained them with songs, dance and ceilidh music.

Haggis, neeps and tatties followed, for a true Burns celebration.

P1 take a walk in Queens Park"Following our Autumn walk in October," says P1 teacher Mrs Ross, "we returned to Queens Park to look for signs of Winter. We were lucky enough to see swans playing on the ice and surprised to see squirrels running around, as we thought they would be hibernating. They didn't seem scared of us and let us come quite close. The pond was completely frozen and we watched the ducks sliding backwards and forwards, having great fun."
