Finally, today there is an event that people celebrate around the world. It is called Burn's Night. It comes from Scotland and celebrates the life and work of a great poet called Robert Burns. Nowadays, Burn's Night is about a group of people coming together to have fun, eat good food and share their favourite poems. Perhaps your family would like to have a Burn's Night party today or later in the week? If you do, please send us a photo and tell us what poems you read and performed!
Thanks for the Burn's night photos and sharing your poems!
