In English we have been learning about Shetland dialect.  The Picts and the Vikings were the first people that lived in Shetland. Some Viking words still exist in Shetland dialect today. Then Shetland became part of Scotland in 1469 and the language changed even more.

We learned about Shetland names and families, then we compared Shetland dialect and English and we also learned a secret language, the International Phonetic Alphabet.

At the end of the unit, everybody has chosen a topic and is making posters. Harry Bruce and Henry are doing pelagic boats, Sandy and John James are doing Shetland recipes, Kristopher and Sam are doing the Serene and the Antares, Lola and Geordie are doing family trees, Una is doing Shetland recipes, Alyshia and Mollie are doing family trees and Morgan and Bella are doing animals.
