MILD: Literacy – My Favourite Spot

Leave a comment

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.

Follow the Sway below to learn more…

There is a PDF attached underneath which you can print or refer to in your writing. One side is for taking notes and planning and the other is for the your final writing piece…
