P3 Scottish Focus
As part of our Scottish focus this term, P3 have been learning about tartan. We looked at how tartan is made and have been practising weaving our own tartan designs.
Within Literacy, we have been learning Scots vocabulary. Everyone did an excellent job of learning a Scots poem and reciting it in front of the class. Well done to Emma-Leigh and Jacob who did a super job when reciting a poem to the whole school at assembly!
We used our knowledge of Scots vocabulary to write new verses for the poem ‘Three Craws’ and then created our own rhyming Scots poems with the title ‘The Fower Doos’.
