This week we got our Scottish poems to learn for the competition a week on Monday. We read through the selection and then chose the ones we wanted. We looked at the difference in words between Scots and English and tried to guess what they meant. We also used an online dictionary to help us. We tried to write our own Scots poem and found this to be very tricky.
We learned about Robert Burns and why he is still remembered today. In art we learnt about the history of Tartan and then wove our own tartan mats. We then used these mats to make our bagpipes.
Don’t they look great?!
In maths we were learning how to interpret data from bar graphs and have also started learning about subtraction. We are learning about different strategies and also sharing which strategy we used to work out our answer.
Enjoy the weekend.
