Everyone enjoyed themselves!
Congratulations! Congratulations to Freya and Megan on winning the Burns’ poetry competition held by the Govan Weavers. Children from Pirie Park Primary and Riverside Primary competed for the chance to perform at the Govan Weavers Burns’ supper. Everyone did really well and it was difficult to choose a winner, however, Megan & Freya won with their rendition of “My Heart is in the Highlands”. Well Done, Freya & Megan!
