This week we have been studying Scotland. We can now recognise the Scottish flag and some famous tartans. We even practised weaving to make a kilt of our own. Thank you Mrs Jamieson who kindly prepared some Scottish foods for us. We tasted haggis, neeps and tatties, scotch broth soup, cheese and oatcakes, jam and plain bread, tablet and dumpling. Everyone enjoyed the feast and the tablet was the most popular! We were keen to try square sausage but Miss Goff didn’t think it would tie in with our health promoting school aims! Yesterday we layered different art materials to make a collage of Scotland’s national flower – a thistle. Grace kindly brought in a book called ‘Katie visits Scotland’ for milk and story where the Loch Ness monster went on an adventure through Glasgow and Edinburgh. It was fun! We had a vote on how many of us believed in the Loch Ness monster and most of us do! Lastly, well done to Ava Campbell who won the Scottish competition from our class, singing an excellent performance of ‘Ye Cannie Shove Yer Grannie aff the Bus’.
