NURSERY children celebrated the birthday of Scotland’s national bard.

The youngsters, staff and parents at Portland House Nursery, based in Lindley, enjoyed a Scottish-themed day.

It was part of many celebrations being held across the country in honour of poet Robert Burns.

The main highlight was a performance by renowned Yorkshire-based bagpiper Ed Arnold.

The youngsters also tasted haggis, listened to Scottish poems and danced and sang to Scottish music.
