We\u2019re continuing our Scots focus this week. Thank you for practising Choukie Hen at home. Several children have enjoyed reciting the poem in front of the class.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also been reading lots of Scottish stories this week, including the story of Greyfriar\u2019s Bobby. We did a black pen picture of Bobby and some fantastic descriptive writing. On Monday we made Scottish flags with Mrs Thomson using scrunched up tissue paper. On Wednesday afternoon we learned about tartan and how different clans and families have their own colours. There is even a Kingsland tartan! We then chose our colours and weaved paper to design our own tartan. This was quite a tricky task and we worked brilliantly together, helping each other and being very encouraging. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also this week we\u2019ve learned the \u2018ch\u2019 sound and had fun being reading detectives and finding lots of words with \u2018ch\u2019 in them. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
