On Tuesday we celebrated Robert Burns.
In the morning we listened to some Scottish poems – our favourite was ‘Crocodile’ by JK Annand. We then created our own acrostic poem choosing different words that started with each of the letters in the word Scotland.
In the afternoon we used strips of paper to create our own tartan design for our kilts that will be displayed on our Katie Morag display outside our classroom. We were all confident individuals at choosing which strip of colour we wanted to use each time. We added a black semi -circle to be the sporran and gold detail with our name.
Last week were were confident individuals mixing up icing in a bowl and using a spoon to create a Scotland flag design on a biscuit.
This week after reading some of the Katie Morag stories we matched some of the characters and places from the stories. All of the pupils were successful learners and able to glue either the pieces or the paper. Some were able to match picture to picture and some were able to match picture to word. They enjoyed the stories and we discussed each of the characters and the different places Katie Morag visited in some of the stories.
