Primary 1 have been investigating St Andrew’s day today through traditional Scots songs, language and stories.

 

We learned that Scots language is different from our language. Phoebe asked if it had different letters like Hebrew, Miss Dunn explained it was the same letters just in a different order to make different sounds.

We enjoyed hearing Whit the Clockleddy Heard and The Gruffalo’s Wean in Scots. Can you guess what familiar story we know them as?

 

We also learned some traditional Scottish children’s songs, such as Three Craws and Ally Bally. Our favourite song was Katie Bairdie.

Other learning activities included  collage thistles, Scottish culture Bingo and making a traditional Scottish dinner of Haggis , Neeps and Tatties in the home corner.
