This week, Primary 4 finished their Scots’ topic by exploring poetry. We had loved learning ‘The Pizzenous Pet Shop’ by Gregor Steele, so we decided to create our own verses to add to the poem. This brought in our learning about Scots’ animal names and describing words.
Here are some of our fantastic verses below…
“The honkin’ hamster scarters again,
This time it’s stuffed its cheeks,
Wi’ mouldy veg an when it’s oot,
It splatters aw owre yer breeks.” Â Â Kristina, Boe & Josh
“The gallus grumphie is manky,
It snorts baith day an nicht,
It sooks its slops fae its trough,
An rips yer socks an tichts.” Charlie & Lauren
“The sonsie selkie dives through the water,
Upstairs, doonstairs, aroond the sea,
Lassies crood aroon in their bonnie breeks,
An invite him owre for tea.” Lachlan, Kamila & Cerys
Miss McLaughlin was very impressed with our hard work. Maybe Gregor Steele might peek at our blog and update the poem with our verses!
Congratulations to Boe & Oliwia, whose work will be added to our Scots’ display. Congratulations also to Lauren, who is our Star Writer for this month.
Until next time…
Primary 4 & Miss M đŸ™‚
