It is the end of our Scottish month in school and we have been working very hard to play our part. At the Scottish afternoon we sang ‘The Jeely Piece Song’ by Adam McNaughton and recited the poem ‘The Comin of the Wee Malkies’ by Stephen Mulrine. These songs were quite tricky at first because of the slang words. We went over them in school and got lots of help at home and now we can sing them perfectly!
Here are our thoughts on the Scottish Afternoon:
Emma: I thought the class was really good at The Coming of the Wee Malkies.
Jason: I liked the sassy movement we did at the end of our poem.
Anya: we realised we had missed a line in our poem but we remembered it on the day.
Cate: We all really enjoyed.
Fergus: I liked the Red Yo-Yo song P4/5 performed.
Cameron: I liked the Donald where’s your trousers song.
Bethany W: The whole school were talented singers.
Orla: I liked when the P7 girls performed a dance.
Our topic is Glasgow, this links in with our Scottish month. We learned that…
Charlie: Some parts of Glasgow are haunted.
Emma: In the olden days there were no electric things.
Jason: we learned that Gordon Ramsey, Gerard Butler, Alex Ferguson, Billy Connelly and Paolo Nutini were all born in Glasgow.
Gregor: we have been searching different times in Glasgow’s history.
Gabrielle: In WW2 there were bomb shelters all around Glasgow.
Rudi: Some of the factories in WW2 got bombed because they made planes.
Lewis: People from Glasgow took part in WW2.
Fergus: We researched and Created a ‘Weegie Dictonary’.
