Introduction
Today’s Weekly Lesson from Mrs Rowan and Mrs Borthwick teaches us the Scottish folk song, Wild Mountain Thyme. It is lesson 5 for P3.
Fascinating Facts
The first we know of, was from Scottish poet Robert Tannahill who adapted the words from an older song around 1796.
The song is also known as ‘Will ye go lassie go’ and is named after a lovely plant with pink flowers which grows
In Scotland, most of Europe and North Africa. It is also called ‘purple heather’ and is part of the mint family.
Warm Up
We will start by preparing to sing, with our fun Voice Warm song. Practice these a few times until you know them well and your voice will be ready for singing.

Now lets sing this weeks song – Wild Mountain Thyme. First, learn the song you can use the word sheet to help you.
Then once you know it – you can make a shaker out of a jar and some dry rice or pasta, and then practice playing and singing at the same time! In one of our other videos Mrs Borthwick shows you how to make a shaker and you can read all about it in Scrape, Tap, Shake and Ting.
