Andrew: Christmas?
Ally: New year?
Leo: Halloween.
Jack: Pay day.
Andrew: Scottish National Day. St Andrew’s Day? That’s my name. It’s about fireworks.
Lachlan: And we wave Scotland flags, and there are lots of people there.
Jack: And there’s drums and everything.
Andrew: They eat Scottish food like mince pies.
Ally: Oh, haggis. Me and my dad love haggis.
Rebecca: I had haggis for my dinner last night.
Leo: Remember we had haggis when we were in here? I love it.
Andrew: They eat it with broccoli. And carrots.
Rebecca: Or peas and sweetcorn.
Jack: And then they would have chocolate cake.
Rebecca: Or carrot cake.
Andrew: Or mince pie cake.
Leo: It’s called St Andrew’s Day because they get flags out and they do some fireworks and they do a parade.
Rebecca: I don’t know why it’s called St Andrew’s and why he is a saint.
Andrew: Because someone was gonna kill them?
Leo: Andrew, stop being nasty.
Andrew: They killed them. They get police after them, I think.
Ally: By shooting.
Leo: Andrew! They wave flags because it’s a celebration.
Andrew: There is also St Peter’s day.
Lachlan: And St Lucy’s day.
Rebecca: And Santa.
Jack: Oh, Easter bunnies!
Rebecca: Our teacher sent Santa a letter, and guess what, she said she was eight. She’s not eight - she’s a teacher!
Jack: On St Andrew’s Day they celebrate Scotland. I think Scotland is quite a good country, but it always rains.
Leo: I love rain.
Andrew: I think they celebrate pizza.
Rebecca: Pie?
Lachlan: They celebrate the carrot peeler. I think it was invented here.
Ally: It is possible.
Lachlan: I think they celebrate Robert Burns. He is a Scottish poet man.
Rebecca: The BFG is Scottish.
Ally: I think he is Irish.
Leo: How about the Olympics? There was a lot of Scottish people.
Rebecca: The Queen? She is my great great great gran.
Lachlan: I saw the Queen in London.
Andrew: I think St Andrew had brown hair.
Ally: And an orange beard.
Lachlan: I think he had brownish hair and big eyebrows like that. I think he was quite skinny and big. That’s what they said.
Ally: My favourite holiday is Christmas.
Leo: No, the summer holiday. And October holiday.
Lachlan: Or a whole year off from school.
