On January 25th our class had the opportunity to do a Glow video conference with a Primary 4 class from Lenzie, Scotland. We were invited to particpate in their annual Burns Supper (via Glow - which is a type of video conference). Robert Burns was a well known poet from Scotland and January 25th is his birth date. The Primary 4 class recited various poems as well as sang a couple Scottish melodies. They also has someone playing the bagpipes. They had a lunch which consisted of oatcakes, cheese, shortbread cookies and other delightful sweets. The teacher of the class, Mrs. Irene Parfect, sent our class some of these yummy treats. We were happy when the package arrived on the day of the activity! She also included a beautiful calendar of Scotland and a bookmark for each student. We felt really spoiled!!! We were very fortunate to be included in such a wonderful event. The class had a wonderful experience. Many thanks go out to our Scottish friends!
