This week Primary Two participated in the St Andrew’s Day celebrations.<\/p>\n

We were able to take a trip down memory lane and were able to explore games of the past which children in Scotland played. We\u00a0were introduced to the activities using skipping ropes which was a communal activity in which gran, bair a\u00a0or weans played together on the pavement outside the tenements of our great cities with signing songs and rhymes. We\u00a0were able to use a Gird and Cleek which was the ace toy, popular in Victorian times. The\u00a0children were fascinated with the simple Whip and Peerie which is an excellent activity for developing eye co-ordination.<\/p>\n

Later, we were involved in designing our own kilt\u00a0patterns, completing a Scottish Word Puzzle\u00a0and studying a Scottish poem. Of\u00a0course no St Andrew’s Day is complete without a tasting session of Scottish produce – tablet, teacakes and Irn bru.<\/p>\n

We learned many new interesting facts about the life of\u00a0st Andrew. A great time was had by all!<\/p>\n
