Today in class we have began looking at our Scots poem for the upcoming poetry competition. Everyone should have a copy in their bag of our poem: The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate – this can be kept at home to practise. If the children can try their best to learn this for Friday 21st of January where a winner will be chosen. I am sure the children will make this decision difficult. Everyone will get the opportunity to take part and I would love to see everyone have a go but nobody will need to participate who does not want to.

We are also learning the song Touch the Sky by Julie Fowlis from the movie Brave so children can also practise this at home if they wish.
