Robert Burns Day

This afternoon we were learning about Robert Burns. We listened to some of his poems and sang Auld Lang Syne! We discussed what some of the words in his poems mean which led us on to recording a variety of Scots words on the board, including some we thought of ourselves. After this, we decided to create a short scene in groups which had to include words from the board. We created our scripts together with our friends and were very creative!

Have a look at the end result 😁

It took a little bit of practice to remember our lines and we were able to laugh together when we made mistakes. It was fantastic to see everyone persevere. We had such a giggle all afternoon 😊

Have a look at some of our outtakes …

Scots Language & Ceilidh dancing💃🕺🏻

In preparation for St Andrew’s Day this Tuesday, we have been learning all things Scots!

We learned some Scottish Country dancing to our new favourite album, “Noo! That’s whit I ca’ Ceilidh Volume 1,” during our P.E. Time. We learned the dance to the Grand Old Duke of York, which is very similar to Scottish Ceilidh dances.  We only had two practises, but I’m sure you will agree the children did a fantastic job! They were exhausted… and so was I. 🙂

Last week we listened to the Gruffalo in Scots! We learned some new Scots words and songs. Hae a wee keek at oor movie!

Have a lovely St Andrews Day on Tuesday. If you do anything ‘Scottish’ please upload it to next week’s homework assignment.
