Since Christmas we have been doing lots of work on Scots Language, discussing the Scots words we know, sharing our favourite Scots words and finding out new ones.  We have made a list of all our favourite words on a Scots Vocabulary Tree in our classroom.

We started off with some DPA to ‘Heids, Shuiders, Knees and Taes’, then we went on to find out the names of different parts of the body by labelling ‘Doadies Boadie’.

As part of our homework we had to find out 5 Scots words and their meanings.  We have since been using them to make Scots placemats, coasters and also to make book marks in IT.  We are hoping to sell these items at a special afternoon where our parents can come to see the work we have been doing in class.

Primary 3’s challenge during Scots language week was to find out about famous Scottish characters.  We have read lots of Stories as a class and made posters of our favourite characters.  We also found out about Scotland’s most famous characters ‘The Broons’ and ‘Oor Wullie’.  In our groups we were each given a character to describe using only Scots Words.
