31 January 08 - 13:34Robert Burns Assembly
Today we had our Robert Burns assembly. We could not do it on the 25th of January as there was too much going on so we had our chance today. We had to go up early to set up the microphones and the chairs. We were all very nervous. When the classes started coming in everyone was excited. Primary 1 up to Primary 6 came to see us including all the teachers.
We started off by saying Good morning and singing Rantin’ Rovin’ Robin. Then we sang some poems. There was a boy in our class who pretended to be Robert Burns and did an act on nearly everything we said. He had to wear black trousers and a waistcoat and had lots of props.
There were also narrators who talked in between the songs. At the end we sang one of Robert Burns’s famous songs called Auld Lang Syne. On the last verse we had to join hands. Then we thanked one of our teachers for playing the piano and gave her a box of chocolates. We also thanked some teachers as we had to use the drama hall to practice and that took up some of the teacher’s drama time. At the end everyone clapped and we got good comments that our singing was brilliant. I think we all did great at our assembly.

30 January 08 - 09:44A Mans A Man For A' That
Is there for honest poverty
That hings his head, an a’ that?
The coward slave, we pass him by-
We dare be poor for a’ that!
For a’ that, an a’ that!
Our toils obscure, an a’ that.
The rank is but the guinea’s stamp
The man’s the gowd for a’ that.
A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis duke, an a’ that,
But an honest man’s aboon his night-
Guid faith he mauna fa’that
For a’ that, an a’ that,
Their dignities, an a’ that
The pith o sense an pride o worth,
Are higher rank than a’ that
Then let us pray that come it may
(As come it will for a’ that).
That sense and worth o’er a’ the earth,
Shall bear the gree an a’ that
For a’ that an a’ that,
Its coming yet for a’ that,
That man to man, the world o’er
Shall brithers be for a’ that.

There was a rare dog from Mars
Who knew how to drive a car
For he said that it’s cool
To drive into a pool
That crazy old dog from Mars
There was an old man from Blackpool
Who described himself as cool
For he jumped off a wall
And ended up in a mall
That cool old man from Blackpool

A white shell
A farmers sell
An egg cracker
A feather packer
A fluffy ball
A sharp call
An egg layer
A silent prayer
A breakfast eat
A new eat
A Butchers shop
A new chop
