January Newsletter Burns Night Celebrations: Monday 25th January

Burns Night is a celebration of the Scottish Poet Robert Burns. The children will learn about the Scottish traditions surrounding the holiday, such as listening to Scottish music and learning about the bagpipes too. I wonder if anyone will be up for a bit of Scottish dancing? They will also get the chance to learn more about the poems written by Robert Burns, as well as the man himself! Maybe we can even persuade Chris to cook an adaptation of the traditional ‘Haggis’ to taste with ‘neeps’ and ‘tatties’, or have some oatcakes and cheese for a snack? Some Scotch Broth sounds like a good idea too, especially as the weather gets even colder in January. We’re sure the children would also love to have a go at dancing a ‘Cèilidh’ or the ‘Gay Gordons’!
