<\/a><\/p>\nWe have been enjoying our Edinburgh Castle themed classroom. We really enjoy pretending to be princesses and knights living in the castle. We have also been building our own castles in the construction area.<\/p>\n
Hamish McHaggis is our new class friend. He lives in Corrie Doon, which is in the Highlands of Scotland. He is a haggis, who enjoys travelling around Scotland. He even has his own stories about his adventures! He is in our class to teach us all about Scotland. So far we have learned about Edinburgh, Inverness, Loch Ness and Glasgow.<\/p>\n We have been taking him home for sleepovers. He really enjoys learning what Scottish children enjoy doing, and has had fun going on walks in the Scottish countryside, watching TV, and helping to read bedtime stories.<\/p>\n We had a particularly fun time learning Scottish words. We now know how to sing head, shoulders, knees and toes in Scottish (or rather heid, shooders, shanks and taes).<\/p>\n As well as all this, we have also been learning where Scotland is on a map, what the Scottish national flower looks like, what the flag looks like (and what it’s called) and we even made our own tartan!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mrs Baty is so proud of all our hard work.<\/p>\n We can’t wait to share all our learning with you at our Scottish Showcase on Thursday (2pm in the P1 classrooms).
