This week we started our new context for learning which is all about Scotland. We thought about what we already know and then talked about what things we would like to learn. Dylan is very excited as he loves all things Scottish. he want to learn new Scots words. In literacy we have been trying to read some Scots poems and figuring out what the words mean. We have been writing them down in a Scot’s dictionary. To introduce the topic we had an explore bag full of Scottish things for us to touch, taste and look at.

Here are some of our thoughts on the week:

Adam – We were eating tablet. We were wearing kilts.

Aiden – This week we have been learning about the Scots. We were drinking some Irn Bru and eating some shortbread and looking at some of the materials from Scotland too. I was trying to blow the bagpipes but they didn’t work because they were too old.

Dylan – I want to learn more about Scottish castles. I already know loads of stuff. It’s my favourite country. The bagpipe music is good.

Joe – In the BBB we did some questions about playgrounds. I said a see saw wold be good in a new playground and I said football.

David – I was reading a book, it’s called Tiddler. I’ve got tartan on.

Yolie – This week was icy in the playground. There was snow.
