Scots Poetry

Over the past week, we have been learning about Robert Burns and have explored some of his poetry. A particular poem we focused on was 'To A Mouse', we all read the poem and translated it to English. We also recognised poetic features within the poem. Following this, everyone then chose their own animal to plan a poem about. Everyone had poetry criteria to meet, where we all added rhyming to our poems and then translated them to Scots. We all had great fun creating our own tartans too!

Fitness Skills

This term, we all split in to small groups and were set the challenge to plan and design a fitness circuit. Each group planned their circuit and the resources they required. Some groups even thought about an easy and a hard version for their circuit. Each week, the children have been developing their fitness skills where they have been recording and reflecting on their progress. 

Scottish dancing

At the end of last term, p3-7 enjoyed participating in some Scottish dancing. Here are a few video clips of everyone participating in strip the willow. We all had great fun!

Making chutney

We all worked together in the nursery the other week to make some chutney for our Christmas market. We learned some skills in chopping vegetables, weighing ingredients and following the recipe carefully. It smelt delicious!
