Burns Night Celebrations

We held our traditional Burns Night Celebrations on Sunday evening and were treated to a traditional feast of 'neeps and tatties', accompanied by haggis, which caused much amusement for those who hadn't come across it before!  Mr Burgon was in fine form playing the bagpipes, and students were given the opportunity to try playing the instrument - some found it easier than others, and some attempts were more tuneful than others!
After supper, we moved to the Sports Hall where multi-talented Mr Burgon switched instruments and played his accordion as part of the band with Mr Chua and Mr Knights, and Mrs Brown did a grand job as the official Ceilidh 'caller'.  Everyone had great fun learning the steps and dancing with boarders from across all year groups.


























Ceilidh had to conclude with rendition of 'Auld Lang Syne'!!
