Burns Night Celebration The children at 22 Street Lane all enjoyed this celebration in different ways. Chris made a lovely meal of a Scottish ‘neeps and tatties’ stew with a traditional Raspberry Cranachan for pudding. Some children also continued their Burns Night celebrations at home with a traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties. The children learned about kilts, using tartan fabric and different coloured paper to make their own. They concentrated really hard on their gluing and sticking, which promoted small muscle control, especially having to select the pieces of fabric and then use the glue spreader. There were a variety of painting activities going on throughout the day with children exploring blue and white paint in different ways. Some enjoyed the messy activity of mixing the colours whilst the older children had a go at creating their own Scottish flag. The Ducklings also enjoyed the opportunity to do potato printing.
