Burns day

Well what a busy day that was! We watched Aymen perform at the burns assembly, she smashed it! We heard some lovely bag pipes. Then we read some Scottish poems and highlighted the words we thought could be Scottish slang, we labelled these words with the definition. We tried some Scottish snacks, then we learned how to do the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond dance!

 

A very busy Thursday 18th Jan

Hi everyone! Today has been super busy! This morning we started off with our songs and poems for the Scottish house challenge. The primary 2 winner will be announced soon! Well done to those who took part.

We read a Scottish poem called mince n tatties and spoke about Scots language. Then we used some of this Scots language in our handwriting! After break we read our books and completed some true or false tasks.

Mrs Noble came to visit and she brought her mum along with her! Mrs Noble’s mum is Gaelic, she grew up in Barra. We learned all about Barra and she even taught us a song in Gaelic.

After lunch we had some art. We were learning about primary and secondary colours. We painted some lovely fruit bowls that we are going to add some fruit to over the next week.

Wednesday 10th Jan

Here’s a wee glimpse into our busy day today! We practiced our tricky words during active phonics! During maths some of us were learning about right angles… we managed to find so many in our own classroom I wonder if anyone can find any in their own homes?? Some of us were learning about millilitres and litres, we were estimating the capacity of different objects and testing out how much water they hold.
