Over the last week or so we have been expanding our knowledge of Scots language in class. We have been reading and investigating Scots language and created our own class Scots dictionary/ word bank to use in class. We then used this new vocabulary to write our own Scots poetry. Our poems were structured in clear verses, with Scots vocabulary and some rhyming couplets. After learning about the origins of tartan we then decorated our poems with a tartan border. They are now proudly displayed in our classroom.
We also created some Scary Scottish Characters describing them fully in Scots. This week we participated in an online session with Scottish author Victoria Williamson. Finally, we made use of our Scots word bank to create a Scots alliteration alphabet here are a few examples of our characters and alliterations.
