Just a flavour of our ceilidh

Our Ceilidh gave us a great opportunity to communicate our literary and musical heritage to a guest from another country in Europe. Vesna , a young teacher from Slovenia has been working with the class and has been sharing her life in Slovenia with the children.

The Slovenian flag was on display
at the Ceilidh alongside the Saltire.

Vesna tasted locally made cheese, Scottish shortbread and fudge thanks to Molly Hay's mum and Mrs Stanger!Yum!

Vesna commmented on how similar the cheese was to local cheese made in Slovenia and said it was lovely to taste.

We have to say a big thank you to Vesna for being behind the video camera for the whole Ceilidh! !

Our Ceilidh

Wonderful stuff class 4/5!

You presented a great afternoon of traditional Scottish

entertainment.

It was very clear that much work

at home had been

put into producing such

confident performances.

It was lovely to have so many family

members in the audience.

A special thank you to Mr Cant for

playing for us.

The sound of the pipes is always special.

Photographs and video clips will be

posted soon.

communicate

Each session of our six week block
Tag Rugby taken by Bruce Ruthven

is full on action and fantastic fun for

over 50 minutes! Great too for

working on skills such as listening,

communicating and cooperating.

We also get those last rays of warming

winter sunshine. Although there is

no time to feel cold during the

action packed sessions!

We were very lucky

to have Grant McKelvie with us today who coaches

the Scotland under 18 squad at

Murrayfield in Edinburgh and is part

of the Scottish Rugby elite training group.

Mr McKelvie commented at the end

on what a super group of young people were

there and how impressed he was with

the commitment and performance.
