SHROVE TUESDAY IN PRIMARY 1/2

 RABBIE'S BAIRNS

On Monday 29th January Primary 6 hosted a Burn's Supper for eighty guests in the Church Hall. The meal, speeches and evening of entertainment were all delivered by the talented pupils of Miss Mackay's class. Here are three accounts of the evening;-

" I played Katie, Tam's wife, in the Tam O'Shanter play. Katie is a working wife who is fed up of her husband's drinking and staying out late with his friends, I specially enjoyed wearing the costume and waving the rolling pin and shouting insults at John who played Tam. I felt in charge and enjoyed the experience when I saw the scared expression on John's face."
By Emma

"I sang the Uist Tramping Song in a group of four girls and I was a witch in Tam O'Shanter. Later I had to sing solo Speed Bonnie Boat and I was so nervous, but everyone said I sang sweetly."
by Natalie

"I played Tam, the main character in the play. He is irresponsible and likes to drink with his friends and sweet-talk the barmaid. I had trouble walking with the horse when I was being chased by the witches. When everyone clapped at the end I knew I had done well."
by John
