Remember that Miss Lawson is offering daily fun activities in Google Classrooms if you would like them. Here are today’s for Burns Day:

Today is Burns Day which is a day when we celebrate a famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns. For dinner tonight I will be having veggie haggis, neeps and tatties which is a traditional Scottish meal. Will you be having the same tonight? Enjoy the day!

Literacy – Have you ever read The Gruffalo in Scots? Listen to the story linked and see if you can translate the Scots words into English words. Did you already know some of these words? Have you read any other stories in Scots?

Or outside you could use a stick to draw tartan in snow or frost…
Does your family name have a tartan? I looked up the Lawson tartan and it is green and blue, I like it! If your family name doesn’t have a tartan, look up a few different ones and pick your favourite.
