The Broons’ Bramblin’ Weekend
Hello! Caspian here!
I have done some maths and spelling today. I also watched NewsRound and discussed the stories with Mum and Mark. I also had to put punctuation into the Broons comic and then do it in english. Here is the Scot version:
“Come on, you lot!” Nagged Grandpaw. “Pit yer auld clothes in this case for the bramblin’!” “Why can we no’ jist wear oor auld clothes tae but an’ ben?” One o’ the twins asked. “Because ye’re no goin’ doon Glebe Street dressed in rags. That’s why!” Stated Maw Broon. “Awa’ for the weekend Mrs. Broon?” A lady on the street asked. “Er…yes. We’re just taking a break, up at our country cottage.” Maw Broon replied. That afternoon they had reached their cottage. “Here we are!” Grandpaw said. “We’d better turn in for the night. We’ll be up at the crack o’dawn for the berris the morn’!” Grandpaw instructed. Next morning, Grandpaw stepped out of the house to pick berries. “Rise an’ shine a’body! Let’s get at those brambles!” Grandpaw commanded. When they got there, they all had their own conversations. “Just as well we’ve got oor auld togs on eh, Maggie?” Maw Broon asked Maggie. “Yes! These thorns would rip our tights to shreds!” Maggie replied. Later when they had picked enough berries Grandpaw shouted: “That’ll do a’body! We’ve got enough to make a few pounds o’ jam!”. When they got home, Hen and Joe were waiting outside. “Come on Grandpaw! We’re caspin’ for a cup o’ tea!” Joe complained. “Aye, get yer key oot and open the door!” Hen asked Grandpaw. “Oh no! I’ve left my keys in my guid breeks… An’ they’re still inside!” Grandpaw explained. When they walked past the lady’s house. “Well, well. If it’s no’ the Broons back from their country cottage. Ha, ha!” The lady said. Whit a disgrace! The youngest Broon thought.
And on that note, goodbye!
Washing Day
Today I have been doing some maths questions and quarters and halves and some spelling too. I read Jordan’s New Jaiket and drew a washing line with clothes on written in Scottish. I also helped mama make smarties chocolate cookies. They are yummy, even my old cat Nessaphina had some of my cookie.
Play happily, stay safe and smile every day xxx
British Museum Update
Hi Everyone,
Well, your questions about the Arctic were all sent to the British Museum last Friday. I thought you might be interested to see the reply. I’m very excited that some of the Inuit peoples will be given chance to answer your questions…. we will have to wait patiently for the answers!
Hi Mrs Armstrong,
Many thanks for sending these questions through – I’ve sent these over to our Arctic Exhibition curators : Amber Lincoln, Peter Loovers and Jago Cooper. Amber is going to answer some but has also said she will speak directly with the Inuit peoples and ask them to provide some answers.
I’ll be in touch again as soon as I have an update for you.
Very best wishes,
Martin Payne

In the hub
Here are some photos of the work the guys have been doing over the last 2 days in the Childcare Hub.
Answering reading questions, doing jumbled sentences and translating Scots…
Using concrete materials and number lines to work on subtraction problems, and some team work to solve word problems and the Inheritance Challenge…
And lots of Arctic art…
We’ve also made the most of it being dry (although cold!) and been out for some walks. Hope you are all having a good week too!

Mrs Fraser’s shopping list for Friday
Hi everyone,
This Friday I’m going to be making some delicious Mars Bar Crispy Cake.
If you would like to try it out here’s what you’ll need.
4 Mars Bars, 100g of butter or margarine, 100g of Rice Krispies, 200-250g of chocolate to top. You might want some baking paper but it’s not essential.
See you on Friday!

Prodigy
Hi there! Caspian here.
I have been looking around on Top Marks and I found a cool maths game called Prodigy. I have got to level 13 in it. It not only does maths, but you can get pets, and wands, and spells, and relics, and wizards, and battles, and quests. I was hoping our school could sign up to it and we could all do maths and battle titans made by The Puppet Master in it.
Bye!
