Robert Burns Cottage and Museum

On Wednesday P5-P7 had a fabulous visit to Alloway in Ayrshire to learn more about social history and the famous poet Robert Burns. We visited the flagship museum after our sunny walk that weaved through the village, along the Poet’s Path, taking us from historical buildings to landmarks known to Burns. We also stepped inside Burns Cottage after our workshop, where Robert was born in 1759. Our favourite part was dressing up in character and the interactive museum.

Robert Burns inspired Art work

After learning about Robert Burns this week and choosing our favourite poem to recite, we created pastel drawings from the images we could see in our head. We used the ‘Picture it’ strategy to help understand our poems and engage more with the Scot’s dialect. The finished pictures were all fantastic images which illuminate Burn’s poetry in our class and help with comprehension. Afterwards we chose our favourite Scottish word to look up and add to our display.
