This week we had a look at the famous Robert Burns poem, Tam O’Shanter! We listened to the poem as well as watching a modern take on YouTube, which we found to be quite funny! We then completed different tasks in groups in order to explore the poem further. These tasks included: writing a sequel to the poem, doing a character study on Tam O’Shanter, creating a map showing Tam’s journey around Ayr, identifying important imagery within the poem, translating some Scottish words and creating a storyboard to illustrate the poem. Pupils extremely enjoyed learning about the story of Tam O’Shanter and were very successful with their tasks! We hope you enjoy the pictures of our finished Tam O’Shanter display!<\/p>\n
