“Hauld yer Wheesht!”

This month, we are celebrating Scot’s Language as a school!

Every class has been given a ‘Scots’ words and have made a large display poster. These have been put up in the hall for all to see!

P7B had the work ‘Mawkit’ and P7M had the word ‘Hooley’ – you can ask the children if they now know what their word means!

On Friday 29th January, we are having a Burns’/Scotland day celebration. Already, some children are preparing by learning some highland dancing, whilst others are learning Scottish songs or poems in class. On Friday, we would encourage the children to wear something tartan if they can, or dress up as a famous Scot!

Here is a famous Poem about a mouse by Robert Burns,can you understand it?

 

Tricky? – Here is a modern day translation of the first verse!
