For our Scots topic, Primary 4 have been discussing Scots vocabulary when learning poems for their Burns assembly. They have been learning Scottish Country Dancing as well as Scots songs for assembly and those sung at a Burns celebration. They discussed the life of Robert Burns and how he wrote about his experiences in his poetry. They also explored different types of food produced in specific areas of Scotland and have used these to prepare a Scottish themed menu. Finally, they used ICT to create their menus.
Pumphie Pals: Our Dinner Hall
At our recent Pumphie Pals meeting our House and Vice captains decided we should investigate how we can improve our dinner hall and finer diner.
We thought about what it should look like, feel like and sound like in our dinner hall. Watch this space!
