Kirsty Pattison, Director of Education at the Burns Museum in Alloway, Scotland, shared a presentation using Skype with Sun Valley Elementary. Students learned about where Robert Burns lived, Brig a Doon (bridge over the river Doon), his poetry, and how he supported America during their war with England.
Our presentation began with Andrea Jones, Pipe Major with Loch Norman Pipe Band, playing the bagpipes. This was quickly followed by a lively performance of Loch Lomond by our music department and five fourth grade students. Later, fifth grade students recited the poem The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate and the song Ye Banks and Braces O'Bonnie Doon by Robert Burns. After Ms. Pattison’s presentation, students left hearing the bagpipes by Ms. Jones.
Our cafeteria gave the students a “taste of Scotland” by preparing a Scottish lunch of Shepherd’s Pie, steamed cabbage, and scones. Art, Music, Spanish, and our Media Center also prepared students for the Robert Burns program today by integrating lessons.
This entire presentation was preformed for our 5th grade team in our media center and shared school wide using our broadcast channel.
