Scottish Week

We’ve had a really interesting week as it’s Scottish week. We have made Scottish tartan using paints

with thick and thin strokes, we also had to make sure we continued our colour pattern.

We weaved tartan too and that was a bit tricky but both looked lovely. They are going up on our wall today.

We learned a new poem, “Twa Legged Mice”- it’s a super poem but there are lots of strange words in it!

If you want to know about Greyfriars Bobby just ask anyone in our class. Mrs Horner read us the story and it was

so sad, some of us were almost crying!! You can see his statue in Edinburgh.

On Thursday afternoon we had a tasting session in class, we had Scottish cheese, shortbread and oatcakes. We recorded the results and now we have to make a chart with them.

We started our Comic Life magazine but unfortunately the computer keeps crashing before we get to save it so hopefully it shall be finished by the end of next week. It’s great fun, we get to take our own pictures and add them to the magazine.

We can’t wait until Mrs Horner prints them out.

At PE we played the Highland games. We were all fabulous but Sireen’s team won. It’s not always the first team finished that gets the points but the first team quiet and organised!

P2/3 wish we could have more Scottish weeks.

No new sounds this week but we had lots of our older sounds to practise just to make sure we

remember them!
