Choukie Hen

For our Scots topic P1a and P1b are learning the poem ‘Choukie Hen’ by JK Annand. Please practise this poem at home.

The words are:

Choukie-hen, choukie-hen,
Ye’re the daftest bird I ken,
Scartin here, scartin there,
Scartin caff, aa owre the flair,
Scartin till your taes are sair
    Aye scart-scartin.
Choukie-hen, choukie-hen,
Scartin but, scartin ben,
Stealin frae the corn tubs,
Seekin worms, seekin grubs,
Slaisterin in the clarty dubs
    And aye scart-scartin.

 

We’re also singing the Scots nursery rhyme Three Craws. We will practise in class but please also sing this at home if you have time:
