Scottish Myths and Legends

We have been learning about Nessie as part of our Scottish myths and legends topic.  We watched a video all about whether the Loch Ness Monster was real or not.  We found out that nobody know if the Loch Ness monster is real.  In the video we seen a picture of Nessie neck and head but other people in the video said that this could have been an elephant swimming when the circus came to Scotland.  Another scientist said that Nessie could be a kind of dinosaur.

After our class discussion each of us drew a picture of what we think Nessie looks like.  We had to write a sentence to say whether we thought Nessie was real or not.  Everyone in our class thinks that Nessie does exist.

We made pictures of Nessie.  We used ink mixed with water to make a sky and water.  We made our water look real by dripping ink onto our pictures and then sprinkled on some salt.  The salt made the ink look bigger some of us thought it looked like the salt made the ink grow.  Mrs Noble cut out silver paper to make Nessie.  We put the silver paper onto special bumpy paper.  We used our thumbs to run back and forward to make Nessie look like she has scale.  We put a googly eye on our pictures to finish them off.

Eva – Making our Nessie pictures was fun.

Daniel – I learned that Nessie might not be real.

Rhys – It was fun putting the scales onto Nessie.
