31 January 08 - 14:05Burns Assembly
Today we were doing our Burns assembly six days late. I was a narrator with Josh, Charlene, Nicole, Karen, Chelsea, Conner, and Scott. We sang four songs and did seven poems (altogether). The first song was Rantin n’ Roven Robin which is about his birthday. The second song was A Red, Red Rose which is a love poem. The third one (which is my favourite one) Scots Wha Hae which is his impression of what Robert the Bruce might have said before his Scottish army defeated the English army. And the last song was Auld Lang Syne. The first poem was To a Mountain Daisy which is what happened when Rabbie ran over a daisy with a plough. The second poem was To a Mouse which is when he ran over its nest. We finished our assembly by singing Auld Lang Syne.

31 January 08 - 13:57Burns Assembly
Today was our burns assembly. We were supposed to do it last week but wecouldn't because we had to go out in the morning and there wasn’t enough time for us to it in the afternoon. In our assembly there were seven poems and four songs. The names of the song are Rantin Rovin Robin, A Red Red Rose, Scott’s, Wha Hae and Auld Lang Syne. The poems are To A mouse, A Mans A Man for A that and much more. The poem that I had to say was To A mouse. There were narrators. We had to say our assembly in front of the school. The assembly didn’t go on for long. There was a boy in my class that had to act out some of the parts in the assembly before the song red Red Rose he had to give some of the girls roses I didn’t get one.
One of our teachers played the key board for a few of the songs. At the end of the assembly we thanked the teacher for playing the keyboard and the children for listing. The teacher that played the keyboard got a box of chocolates. I thought that the assembly went really good because only one or two people forgot their words.

31 January 08 - 13:56Late Burns Assembly
Today it was our Burns assembly. We were supposed to do it last week but we were really busy. Our assembly started with a poem called To a Mountain Daisy. Then we had done a speech. We also sang Scots Wha Hae, a Red, red Rose, and Auld Lang Syne. The poems were To a Mouse, Address to The Unco Guid, Address To Toothache, The deils awa wi the Exciseman and Tam O Shanter. My group did a mans a man for a that, then we made a mistake on the very last verse. But nobody noticed. We also had a boy in our class being Robert Burns and he had to act things out like giving out roses and crush a daisy. When we finished our assembly we gave the teacher that played the Piano a box of chocolate.

31 January 08 - 13:46Burns assembly
Today it was our Burns assembly, we sang and said poems. The first song we sang was called Rantin Rovin Robin which was about was about Robert Burns’s birthday, and then we said some poems like :The deils awa with the Exciseman, To a mouse and A mans a man for a that. Then both classes said Tam o’ shanter together. Then we sang more songs, we ended with Auld lang syne.
I liked doing the assembly because it was fun and interesting. My best poem was Tam o’ shanter because it was the easiest to learn, but some of the words we pronounced wrong the first time we practiced it. The best song was Scots Wha hae. I thought it was a bit funny when a boy in my class played some parts as Robert Burns. I learned more about Robert Burns because the narrators had to say some things about him.
We didn’t do our Burns assembly on Burns day because we had too much going on, and because we didn’t have enough time to go through all the classes poems.

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.

Wee, modest, crimson tipped flow’r .

For I maun crush amang the stoure
Thy slender stem
To spare thee now is past my pow’r
Ther in they scanty mantle clad
Thy snawy bosom sun-ward spread
Thou lifts thy bed
In humble guise
But now the share uptears thy bed
Ev’n then who mourn’st the Daisy fate

Full on they bloom

Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For auld land syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I’ll be mine;
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld land syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
Sin’ auld lang syne.
For auld land syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And there’s a hand my trusty fiere!
And gie’s a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak’ a right gud-wellie waught,
For auld lang syne
For auld land syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

28 January 08 - 10:27Scots, wha hae
Scots, Wha hae wi` Wallace bled,
Scots, Wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.
Now’s the day, and now’s the hour;
See the front o` battle lour!
See approach proud Edward’s power-
Chains and slaverie!
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward’s grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee?
Wha for Scotland’s king and law
Freedom’s sword will strongly draw,
Freedom stand, or freedom fa`?
Let him follow me!
By oppression’s woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurps low!
Tyrant fall in every foe!
Liberty’s in every blow!
Let us do or die!
