As part of our planned transition activties with the pupils of St Cadoc’s we investigated Scot’s language in January and shared this information via PowerPoint with each other.

We read familiar tales in Scots language, sung old Scots songs and looked at images of places in Scotland that speak Scots language today.

As we are leaning animal words in Ivrit we decided to teach our fellow P1s animal words in Scots (which just so happened to got in with our favourite tale Whit the Clockleddy Heard).

We made a powerpoint showing the following words:

dug – dog

grumphie – pig

cuddy – horse

coo – cow

yowe – sheep

The children from St Cadoc’s shared their research into famous Scottish poems with us, including the poem ‘The Wee Rid Caur’.

We loved finding our what the children in St Cadoc’s have been learning and sharing our knowledge and experience with them.

“We were both learning about Scots language at the same time so we will both know the same things when we move to the new school.” – Katie

“It was nice to see that we can learn with other P1s even though we are not in their actual real classroom. That was new.” – Jasper
