Primary 4 had a wonderful visit from Shirlie from the Ulster-Scots Agency. During the session, the children learned about the strong historical links between Ulster and Scotland and discovered how these connections have shaped our culture today. They were introduced to some Ulster-Scots words and enjoyed practicing using them in fun activities.

Shirlie also explained the history and meaning behind tartan fabric, including how different patterns can represent families and regions. The highlight of the visit was when the pupils had the opportunity to design their own tartans, using colours and patterns that were special to them.

Everyone had a fantastic time and the class learned so much from this engaging and interactive experience.
