P7A meets Mr Mingin!

Today the class met a well known writer called Matthew Fitt! We met him at Waterstones and he read us some of his book Mr Mingin (Mr Stink translated into Scots). Mr Fitt got some of the class to read out some funny scots words and made one of our pupils burp – the LONGEST burp in scots EVER (pardon me!). Once we read the book we all danced to the ‘Shoogly Woogly’ – yi pit yir oxters in, yir oxters oot! While we were reading the book we learnt some new scots words we hadn’t learnt before like dowp (bottom), oxters (arm pits) and lavvy-heid (loser). Mr Fitt gave us a scots copy of the book that he had signed and also gave us a sneak peak at his new translation of ‘Billionaire Boy’, it sounds awesome! The visit was brilliant and we are looking forward to meeting more authors.

Furry critters

After another cooked breakfast 7b headed out to check their traps set last night… We were in luck with a vole and 5 mice guests in our straw hotels. Who knew mice could jump so high. Boots at the ready for the Cataran Trail and fire starting with flint and steel!

Weather is dull but the kids are not! All good #kindrogan #magnificent7

In my room with all my friends and so far we have done , raft building and animal trapping yesterday. I think that we will catch a wood mouse but my friend Nicole wants to catch a vole though so I can’t wait!!!!

We won both raft races and all the people on my team when we were close to the finish line got off!!! I won the last bit of the race on my own ! Today we are doing the low ropes and a big walk

It’s  been a great trip so far !
