PUPILS at Bridge of Weir Primary delighted guests with a Scottish-themed show.

Taking place on Thursday and Friday afternoon, youngsters of all ages took to the stage for traditional performances.

Dazzling the crowd with their bright tartan patterns, the youngsters looked the part as they presented Scottish song, dance and poetry.

The free concert was performed to around 400 people with 200 attending on both days.

Elderly guests were treated to homemade shortbread and tea after the display.

All of the classes contributed to the show with the P1 pupils reciting ‘A Sair Finger’.

P2s took to the stage for a rendition of ‘Ye Canny Shove Yer Grannie’ which was met with laughter from the grandparents in the crowd.

The P3 class recited two Robert Burns pieces, with the girls offering ‘To a Mouse’ and the boys grinning through ‘Address To The Toothache’.

Feet were flying as the P4s kicked off a Scottish country dance while P5s delighted the audience with Scottish songs.

P6s entertained with a ‘Wooly Jumper’ display and P7s belted out ‘Caledonia’ and recited ‘Address of the Haggis’.

Headteacher Carol Vallance said: “The pupils regularly host the Scottish themed shows for elderly homes in the village.

“We decided to open to all senior citizens in the village this time as well as families.

“It is important for the pupils to recognise their Scottish language and culture.

“They are developing their knowledge of dialect and appreciating their own national heritage.

“Much of the show was linked to Robert Burns but there were other takes on Scottish language.

“The guests had a wonderful time and the pupils had great fun too." performing a smattering of everything Scottish.

“The senior citizens know all the songs so they liked the idea that the young ones are still learning them, so they can teach their children in the future.”
