MILD: Literacy – My Favourite Spot
This fortnight is all about celebrating Scotland and our Local Area.
We all love Methlick and there are many places to love Methlick. But each of us will have that one special spot. Somewhere that could have a great view or it could be somewhere that you visit regularly or somewhere that brings back memories.
In our writing we want to make a Mild guide of places to visit in Methlick, as described by you.

MILD: Literacy – How much Scots do we know already?
Scots is a language that was commonly spoken all over, however, today we now commonly use English. The funny thing is, is that certain words creep back into what we say, those words are often from the Scots Language.
Watch the following videos to learn more, do you recognise some of the words?
One of our favourites stories is the Gruffalo, listen to it in Scots.
Complete the sheet below, you do not have to print it out, you can refer to it and have a discussion with family members or phone a relative to sound out the words and learn what they mean.
