Burns Museum trip

The S1/2 Burns Recitation prize winners had a wonderful visit to the new Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. They were met by Education Learning Officers Esther and Hannah and then had a tour of the Burns cottage and a workshop on Tam O’Shanter. Esther then accompanied the pupils on a guided walk, taking in the Auld Alloway Kirk and the Brig O’Doon. At the museum Rebecca, the museum guide, led a further workshop on the life and works of Burns and a tour of the interactive museum. The pupils really enjoyed the visit and as S2 pupil Alana Murray said’ It was great. I really liked the hands on things at the museum’. S1 pupil Daniel Dutton said’ If we take part next year in the competition can we have another visit’. Thank you to all the staff at Robert Burns Birthplace Museum for making the day one to remember.
