As part of our Scottish and Burns Week, Emily’s mum came in to tell us a few traditional Scottish Stories. She started by telling us an enchanting tale all about a very well know Scottish mythical creature, The Kelpies. The story told of a young boy who was poor and his father was not well so there was no-one to plough the fields. When his mother told the boy the mysterious tale of The Kelpies the boy wanted to see one and capture it to help out on the fields. Susan told the story in great detail and expression and you really felt as if you were part of the story. She told of another story, this story was about how lots of different landmarks in Scotland were made. Also this story was themed around a mighty dragon called Stoorworm. My favourite was an interactive story where she called up about 5 children to pretend to be trees. I had heard this story before and I went up to be a tree at another venue. I am a great friend of Emily’s and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Susan’s amazing and interesting tales.
