In celebration of Burns Night and our annual Scottish Fortnight, the children are being asked to learn a short Scottish poem.
Please remember, P3 take part in the whole school Scots Poetry Competition and the shortlisted 5 children will present their poem to the school, thereafter judging takes place to award a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for every class.
Please learn the following poem,
Twa Leggit Mice
My mither says that we hae mice
That open air-ticht tins
And eat her chocolate biscuits
And cakes and siclike things.
Nae doubt it is an awful shame
That mice should get the blame
It?s really me that rypes the tins
When left my lane at hame
But jings I get fair hungert
And biscuits taste sae nice
But dinna tell my mither for
She thinks it is the mice
