Today we started our new topic for Scottish Month. It is all about Scottish Myths and Legends.

We know Myths and Legends are stories from a long time ago that aren’t always true.

We have been learning about The Loch Ness Monster.

We have found out…

• The Loch Ness Monster lives in a loch in Inverness.
• The loch Ness Monster almost attacked someone a long time ago.
• Nessie is hiding in the loch, we can’t always see him.
• He might be hiding in his cave.
• Nessie lays eggs.
• He’s very big, has spikes and might have red eyes.
• A long time ago someone found Nessie’s footprints! But it wasn’t real it was a hippos footprint.

Since hardly anyone has seen Nessie we all have very different ideas about how he might look.

We think Nessie might have…

• A green body – Ava
• Bumps on her – Katie P
• Spikes – Zoe
• Red eyes – Adam
• Wear a hat – Iona
• Green Scales – Lauren
• Purple Lumps – Alaina
• Blue Eyes – Rebecca
• Feel Wet – Riley
• Long Neck – Craig
• A Sticky Tummy – Aaron W
• A Black line of Spikes -Daryll
• Yellow Spots and a Green Body – Lily
• Be a girl – Aydin
• Green body and yellow tummy- Ethan
• Spikes – Aaron M
• Sharp Teeth – Marcus

 

We took all our fantastic ideas and drew and coloured our own Nessie’s. We can’t wait to learn more about Scottish Myths and Legends!
