Scots Focus Homework – due Friday 17th January
As part of our Scots Focus in school, your child has been asked to choose a Scots poem to learn for homework. There is a choice of a longer or shorter poem.
The children will get a chance to recite their poems in class on Friday 17th January and a boy and girl will be selected to go through to our school final on 25th January.
Jack and Jill
Twa wee birdies,
Sittin on a hill,
Ane ca’d Jack,
And anither ca’d Jill.
Flee awa Jack,
Flee awa Jill,
Come back Jack,
Come back Jill.
Twa-leggit Mice
by JK Annand
Ma mither says that we hae mice
That open air-ticht tins
And eat her chocolate biscuits
And cakes and sic like things.
Nae doot it is an awfy shame
That mice should get the blame.
It’s really me that ripes the tins
When left alane at hame.
But jings I get fair hungert
And biscuits taste sae nice
But dinnae tell ma mither
For she thinks it’s the mice!
