“The Sair Finger”

By Walter Wingate

You’ve hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!

My, so it is – and there’s the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there – my needle’s gotten’t out!
I’m sure that wasna sair?

And noo, to make it hale the morn,
Put on a wee bit saw,
And tie a Bonnie hankie roun’t
Noo, there na – rin awa’!

Your finger sair ana’? Ye rogue,
You’re only lettin’ on.
Weel, weel, then – see noo, there ye are,
Row’d up the same as John!

Happy New Year!

What a busy term 2 we had in Primary 3!

We loved learning all about the “Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch” and taking part in lots of activities about the story.
Our main activity was a STEM challenge where we worked in groups to create a 3D model of the setting of the story. We used recycled materials, masking tape and paint to bring the setting of the story to life! Here are some photos of our completed models:

We also visited the pantomime at the Palace Theatre and practised Scottish Dancing for our Christmas Party. We all tried our best to follow the steps for the dances. We had a great Christmas party!!
