On Monday we worked with Primary 4 to complete some Scottish activities. We worked with a partner to learn the Scottish Dance The Gay Gordons. In class the P4’s also helped us to learn the Scottish names for different pieces of clothing. We learned that glecks are glasses, goonie is a dressing gown, breeks are trousers, gutties are gym rubbers and lastly a peenie is an apron. To learn these words we played pin the clothes on the girl, port and starboard (with a Scottish twist), pairs and a colour match task.
On Tuesday Mr MacDonald visited us to tell us all about Island life. We found out that Mr MacDonald grew up on the Isle of Lewis. We learned different ways of getting to the island and were fascinated that a ferry can carry cars on board. He also showed up pictures of the, the local light house, beach, the pier and his house he lived in. We learned lots of interesting facts and loved asking questions at the end. Thank you to Mr MacDonald for speaking to us-we really enjoyed it.

Hi Primary 1b,
I’m pleased to hear that you have had a really lovely week in school learning about all things Scottish and about life on an island. Mr Macdonald enjoyed his visit to your class and thought that you all asked some very interesting questions.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Henderson
So glad you post this as I get told by my boy he does nothing at school.
It sounds like the boys and girls had a really fun and interesting week, Lauren says the best part of the week was learning about living on an island, she told me lots of interesting things about this.
