Just before Halloween, author Matthew Fit visited P5 to share some poems he has rewritten in Scots. You might have read his book The Eejits, a Scots translation of Roald Dahl’s The Twits. We enjoyed listening to him reading and acting out different words and parts from his work. Matthew taught us spooky Scots words such as skelet, caunle, moosewab, carline and bizzum. We added these words with little drawings to our haunted house.

A few days later we used some of these new words to write the ending to a spooky story of our own.

On halloween we dressed up, danced and played games at our Autumn party.
