As part of our Scotland topic all the classes are learning a Scots poem.  The Primary 1 poem is Crocodile by J K Annand.

Crocodile by J K Annand

When doukin in the River Nile
I met a muckle crocodile.
He flicked his tail, he blinked his ee,
Syne bared his ugsome teeth at me.

Says I, ‘I never saw the like,
Cleaning your teeth maun be a fyke!
What sort a besom do ye hae
To brush a set o teeth like thae?”

The crocodile said, ‘Nane ava.
I never brush my teeth at aa!
A wee bird redds them up, ye see,
And saves me monie a dentist’s fee.

We will be sending a paper copy of the poem tomorrow in your child’s book bags.  Please practice it with them as we will be filming a class performance for the blog at the end of the month.

Please ensure that the books bags are in tomorrow as we shall be sending a few things home.  If you cannot find your child’s book bag or sound cards, please write a wee note and we can issue new ones.
