Our Yr5s are rehearsing a Dan Gordon play written in Ulster-Scots.

The children are working with Jason from the 'Theatre Without Walls Company' and will perform the play in front of the whole school as part of our Robert Huddleston Community Festival.

This project is funded by the Ulster-Scots Agency.
