We learned this catchy poem today.
It has many poetic devices such as rhyme, rhythm, repetition and onomatopoeia.
It’s called, ‘The Schoolkid Rap’ by John Foster.
We hope you like our rendition of it!

Check it out Primary 6’s, and get practising your parts for next week’s Burns Supper!
P5/6 Star Writers!
These children have achieved their target of writing persuasively. They have written convincing arguments for and against the wearing of school uniform. Excellent work everyone!
P5/6 Poetry Block
Today we created Visualisers for the poem, ‘The Ning Nang Nong’.
Here are two clever cookies with their amazing triorama visualisers.
Portraits of Burns
Our creative Primary 6 children drew excellent charcoal portraits of Scotland’s famous poet, Robert Burns. I love your use of tone to make your drawings look more realistic!
P5/6 EXPLORING DECIMALS
We have been learning how to multiply and divide decimal by 10, 100 and 1000. We used these cool decimal sliders to visualise the process!
We also ordered decimal numbers from lowest to highest on a cool smartboard game.
P5/6 Burns Cottage Artwork
We learned about an artistic technique called ‘hatching’ to create tone and texture in our detailed drawings of the famous birthplace of our national bard, Robert Burns!
The thatched roof looks so real, you could almost touch it!
P5/6 Loving their Parent Council toys!
We loved choosing new Golden Time toys with our money from the Parent Council. Thanks so much, we love them!
Joint Choir Event Moodiesburn Church
The festivities continue for the senior choir with a visit to Moodiesburn Church. They sang a couple of their favourite carols along with St Michael’s Primary choir and heard from the Reverend Mark McKeown and Father Michael about “The baby who brought a crowd.”
