We have been learning some Scottish words this week in school. First, we read the story of “The Gruffalo”. Then, we read it another day in Scots. We really enjoyed hearing all the Scottish words.
In groups, we were given one Scottish word from story “The Gruffalo in Scots” and we had to discuss what we thought the meaning of the word was. Then, we were given Scottish words and had to find the word that said what it meant.
Akasha – I was given the word ‘mirk’. It meant ‘dark’
Eden – My word was ‘cheerio’ and that meant ‘goodbye’
Lucas – ‘hoolet’ means ‘owl’
Orlaith – My word was ‘neb’ and that means ‘nose’
Kyle – ‘jags’ meant ‘spikes’ on the Gruffalo’s back
Isla – My word was ‘dumfoonert’ and that meant terrified or confused
Tiana – My word was ‘dippet’ and that means silly
We are looking forward to learning more Scottish words and more about Scotland’s heritage.

I really enjoyed the game when you were given a word in Scots and you had to match it to the English word.
My mummy is really excited that we’re learning about Scots because that’s what she studied at University.
