P2/3 were lucky to have a visit from Bruce Eunson from Shetlandforwirds (Promoting Shetland Dialect). He read Christine de Luca’s new book: Grottie-Buckie an Tirli-Wirli and gave each pupil a bag containing the book: Creepie Crawlies, written by Catherinne Gibb & Julie Hay and ilustrated by Ann Marie Anderson.
If any of the pupils complete drawings/colourings in the book, he has asked if they could be brought back to school so that we can scan the drawings and send them to him, to share with the authors.
It was a super session and the bairns engaged well. We all learned lots of new words. Lovely to hear them spikkin the Shetland Dialect!
What a busy week we have had, learning to divide by two, within 20 and with larger numbers, practising our final blends, taking part in a Sumdog competition and starting a science experiment to show which will have the most germs. The class think the laptops will have the most germs and that the hand sanitised hands will have the least, we will just have to wait and see! We’ve also made hands to show how our tendons work and displayed these in the corridor, we really enjoy making them move!
