Sneaky Peak

We have been developing our animated Scots poems, Maya made the first one all about a Selkie called Saleena. She used alliteration and some scots words. There will be lots more to follow! Watch this space.

Another Braw Week

We have all been so busy, this afternoon we reflected on our week and all the learning that had happened.
Some of us learned a new sound ‘Z’ it makes a zzzzzzz sound and is at the start of words like zip, zebra and zoo. Others have learned some new scots words like ‘feart’ ‘fankle’ and our favourite one ‘bahookie’. Telling the time was another skill learned this week with some of us now able to use a digital clock and others can do o’clock and quarter past the hour. P2 & P3 have figured out that multi[plication is just making groups and dividing is sharing equally they are looking forward to doing more of this type of work.
Our daily mile has been very soggy recently we are walking rather than running as wee don’t want to land on our bahookies!
Today we really enjoyed our daily mile because it was lovely and sunny and we did a wee bit of skating on the ice too!

The bairns are havin a braw time learnin Scots

We listened to a braw story in Scots all about a boy cried Neil and his bunnet, this inspired us to learn some scots words and we are going to be writing some poems too! To get started we worked together in groups to come up with alternative verses to the great rhyme Katie Bardie.
Have a watch.
