MILD: Literacy – How much Scots do we know already?

4 Comments

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.

Scots Words Activity 

Share your responses with your teachers through seesaw or email.

Good morning everyone and welcome back to Methlick’s Book Club!

I hope that you have enjoyed your second week of Expressive Arts fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 2 and 3 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read both chapters?

Our activities this week:

Chapter 2 – Design and draw your version of what you think the Ickabog might look like. Click on the Sway below to see  the illustrations that were sent in.

In Chapter 3, we learned that Fred’s seamstress sadly passes away. Fred appeared to feel guilty for overworking his servant, however his friends, Spittleworth and Flapoon reassured him that he couldn’t be a nicer king. The chapter ended with Fred getting into bed.

In the comments, let’s discuss how Fred might be feeling about the tragic event as he lies in his bed.
