The Mod is a great way to learn and create Gaelic masterpieces to keep the Scottish Gaelic language going! Lots of people went to the Mod this year and even won some gold medals and trophies for their amazing Gaelic singing.

Firstly, we have a list of amazing p1-2s that came to the Mod: Poppy, Emmy, Harper, Holly, Bryn, Hugh, Zoe, Finlay, and Nola! We also done some great interviews with some of the p1-2s to listen to their thoughts about the mod, “I loved the mod so much and I even got a golden medal!” – Finlay, “I really liked the doing Gaelic at the mod and I also won a trophy!” -Hugh, “I liked seeing my mum and dad at the mod with me!” -Poppy, “I liked winning a trophy and loved singing in Gaelic!” -Harper.

Secondly, we also have some winners for the Gaelic art competition! Findlay in p7 got 3rd place in the art competition, then we have Hannah p6 coming in on 2nd place that amazing! Lastly, we have Soarcha, who won 1st place in the competition that’s outstanding!

Going to the mod was a great experience for everyone it’s great for all kids and adults to learn, sing and show of their wonderful talents! Going to the Islay Mod is a must do!

My 2025 endevour is easter island, easter island is a small island in Chile with lots of ancient statues. The reason i picked this topic is because i found it very interesting that people years and years ago could build such big statues with volcanic rock and use handmade advanced tools.

What have i already done?

The first thing i done for this topic was taking notes and watching a few videos about the history of easter island and what peoples theory are about how they have moved the statues, one popular answer was tying the statues to a slippery piece of wood making it able to slide over onto the piece of land they wanted it to sit on. The next thing i done was write a letter to a staff working in the Rapa Nui museum i was asking them about why they picked this job and about the museum but she hasn’t replied yet. i have made a book creator too about how life is on easter island! i have also made a little diorama inside of a cookie jar with a few clay moai statues and moss at the bottom.

How is this project ambitious

This project is challenging because its sometimes quite hard to find the correct information for the topic and finding out information more detail and key details!

What will you see at the end?

At the end you will see many facts and information too see and a small book to read about easter island you will also see a diorama and an animation of easter island people building a little statue and a drawing or a painting of the moai statue, you may also see a little poster too!
