Our Learning week beginning 22nd January 2018
Wow, what a fantastic week we have had learning about our Scottish culture and heritage.
Our Scottish themed snacks have had such a variety of flavours, some of which we like and some we really don’t like! We have tasted Porridge, home made Scotch Broth, Cranachan, Oatcakes and Cheese and of course, Haggis Neeps and Tatties.
We have also enjoyed listening to Scottish Country Dance Music as well as the Pipes and Drums. We watched videos of highland dancers and tried of copy some of their moves. Mrs Olford, Miss Nelson and Mrs Prentice also taught us steps used in familiar Scottish Country Dances. We have uploaded some of the videos to our Learner Journals.
We have also been practicing our favourite Scottish songs. Can you guess which one this is?
Next week during Stay, Learn and Play we will practice our songs further with our carers as well as continue learning rhymes and identify the rhyming words.
Our Learning Week Ending 27th January 2017
Wit ‘a guid week we’ve had!
We’ve read a selection of Scottish themed stories and used our recall and sequencing skills to retell the story “There was a Wee Lassie who swallowed a Midgie”. Â Some of our favourites also included The Grouse and the Mouse and Can’t-Dance-Cameron.
We increased our vocabulary learning lots of new words such as semmit, breeks, saltire, thistles, tartan, and kilts and used our observational skills to create artisitc examples of Saltires and Thistles.
On Wednesday we celebrated with a Burns Supper.  We all tried the new foods and thoroughly enjoyed the social setting of eating together. Some of us enjoyed the haggis, neeps and tatties followed by shortbread however some of us just enjoyed the shortbread!
We listened to the bagpipes and drums and danced to traditional scottish ceildh music.
We finished our week of celebrating with a Scottish Sing-A-Long with our parents and carers.
Thank you to all who came along.
