Hi There

It is Scottish Culture month in January within the school!  As part of this each child is asked to select and learn a Burns poem which they will then recite to the class.

From this, a child from each class will be selected to represent their class at our Burns assembly.

When learning the poem pupils have to focus on –

• Good, clear diction
• Pace
• A good understanding of the poem
• Correct pronunciation of Scottish words
• Good facial and vocal expressions conveying the sentiment of the poem
• Variation in pace and tone

As a class we picked four to focus on, however feel free to choose your own if you want! The four we picked were:

A Red, Red Rose

My Heart is in the Highlands

Scots Wae Hae

Up in the Morning Early

Have fun learning your poems and we look forward to hearing them!

Miss Grant
