We designed our own Scottish kilts by creating tartan. We used paint to create a tartan effect then cut them to look like kilts. We then added some novelty legs!
We were all very proud of our designs!
Primary 6/7 have been learning about pop art and the work of Andy Warhol recently. We created our own portraits of famous people using pop art style – can you guess who they are?
Our nursery boys had a great time during Scottish week. They sampled Scottish food and drinks, learned dances and identified symbols and landmarks associated with Scotland. Check out our learning wall at the entrance foyer.
Today in P.E we tried to perfect our volley skills using the volleyball net! It was really tricky but we used our concentration and determination skills to improve.
After learning about where milk comes from the children made and tasted banana milkshakes.
While they were waiting on their turn they investigated different food and sorted them according to where they came from e.g. Plant or animal.
We have been learning all about Scotland and famous Scots, so today we had our very own Burns Supper! We made, from scratch, Haggis, neeps and tatties. The children did a fantastic job peeling and cutting the vegetables and thoroughly enjoyed their haggis, washed down with a glass of Irn Bru.
Today, Primary 4 celebrated the life of Robert Burns by learning to recite two verses of his famous poem, “To a Mouse” off by heart.
The children added fabulous expression to their voices and afterwards, completed a Metalinguistics task investigating some old Scottish words such as ‘sleekit.’
Great enthusiasm P4!
Today our group began the task of creating our display to let others know what we do during leadership time. We made display lettering from recycled rubbish and began painting the background of our design. Stay tuned to see how it turns out!

P4/5 and P5/6 have been working hard to learn some famous Scottish ceilidh dances. We completed our block of dance this morning by doing a Dashing White Sergeant. There were lots of red faces and sore arms after it. What an ideal way to celebrate our national poet, Robert Burns.
