We had lots of fun yesterday in our masterclass on the ‘The Eejits’.

We used our ICT and research skills to find out lots of facts about Roald Dahl.

Some of the words within the book were a little tricky and we found it very interesting finding out about the meanings of some of the unusual Scots words we came across … some of our favourites were: coupon (face), cludgie (toilet), hawkit (ugly), puddock (frog) 🙂 🙂 🙂

We drew pictures of Mr and Mrs Eejit and used adjectives in Scots to describe them.   Then, we prepared a menu for the Eejits! …. The suggestions sounded, erm, well, lets say not quite to my taste lol!  Here are just some of the suggestions …

Breakfast: Rotten eggs oan mouldy toast washed doon wi soor mulk

Lunch:  Pizza wae cockroach topping, slimy snot insteed o’ cheese

Dinner: Dug bahookie stew wi’ rotten green tatties

Supper:  Stinkin green cheese oan mouldy aul breed

In the afternoon we painted a wall display of Mr and Mrs Eejit and added some of our favourite adjectives!

We finished off the day with a quiz on the meanings of Scots words.

   

All of the children from P4 – P7 who attended this Masterclass did extremely well and I now know that I NEVER want them to cook a meal for me!! :O 🙂
