St Andrew’s Day!
The pink and yellow group have been having lots of fun celebrating ‘St Andrew’s Day’.
We decided to make our playdough ‘blue’ and ‘white’ as we learned that ‘blue’ and ‘white’ are the colours of our Scotland flag.
We mixed, measured and kneaded the dough to make our Scottish play-dough!
We had lots of fun using our fine motor skills such as cutting, sticking and gluing to make our own Scottish kilts! The ‘pink‘ and ‘yellow’ group learned about tartan and that each kilt has different colours and patterns on it. We created our own patterns on our kilts!
Have a look…
The ‘pink’ and ‘yellow’ group also read the storybook ‘The Gruffalo in Scots’ by Julia Donaldson and learned the Scottish way to say certain words like;
‘Moose’ – ‘Mouse’
‘Broon’ – ‘Brown’
‘Hae’ – ‘Have’
‘Whit’ – ‘What’
‘Lang’ – ‘Long’
‘Sherp’ – ‘Sharp’
We then ate porridge and potato scones for our snack!
“I have porridge for my breakfast!”
“I love porridge!”
“I live in Scotland”
We finished our exciting day by listening to the nursery rhyme ‘3 Craws Sat Upon a Wall’ and trying some Scottish dancing! We had lots of fun learning and celebrating St Andrew’s Day!
