Scottish Contexts for Learning
Scottish Poetry Recital Clan Competition
Our children have been busy learning their Scots and Burns poems the past two weeks, at home and school. Today the children who wanted to enter the clan competition recited their poem for their clan. Congratulations to all our children who recited their poems, their was a real buzz of excitement across Calderwood!
The clans then had a secret vote for who they thought should represent their clan at the Calderwood competition, they used the success criteria to help with this. Tay clan used an online form for their votes.
Congratulations to our clan competitions! These children will represent their clan in the Calderwood Poetry Recital next Friday which will have a panel of judges.
The children were also very excited to make a phone call home to share their news!
