House Assembly
Greyfriars BobbySt. Andrew’s Day is the 30th November. This year our assembly took the form of three aspects of scottish culture:
1. The story of Greyfriars Bobby.
2. What is a haggis?
3. The Highland Games.
The star of the show was 'Lily' who appeared as Greyfriars Bobby and wowed the audience by giving a heart rending performance as the highland terrier adopted by the people of Edinburgh.
Mr. Herbert produced a live haggis on stage, a rare beast found in Scotland. The members of staff were then invited to eat some haggis cooked that morning.
The year 8 girls performed a scottish sword dance and the audience were then treated to a feat of strength and skill as our 'special guest', Jock MacTavish, showed how to 'toss the caber'.
