Tartan kilts

Quite a lot of children in our P7 class wore tartan today, and you can see many of them wearing kilts. Mr Devereux played Scottish music when the children came in to the classroom at the start of the day.

Highland dancing

Nettle told you that she did Scottish highland dancing. Here she is wearing her traditional dancing costume for St Andrews Day.

Scottish music

Highlander, Tinkerbell and Adder played their violins in front of the whole school. The tune they played was Scotland the Brave. Actually, we though that they were very brave playing in front of the whole school. Our head teacher accompanied them on the piano.

Golden Time

This is a picture of our Scottish Golden Time. Children across the whole school chose the activity they went to. Here is Mr Devereux doing Scottish poems and stories with two pupils from P1, two from P2 and two from P7. Most of the other children in P7 went to Scottish games, Scottish quiz and designing tartan.

Our Scottish Flag

Here is the Scottish flag we made with the children wearing their school uniforms. Everyone is waving a Scottish flag (saltire) too. This is the playground at the front of the school. I climbed up a ladder on to the roof to take the photo. There was a lot of water on the roof which had turned to ice so I had to be very careful!

St Andrews Day

Today we are celebrating St Andrews day with an all school golden time with special Scottish activities. Usually golden time is a half hour of doing what we want in the classroom. Do you have golden time? Some of the activities we are doing today are : Designing tartan, listening to Scottish poems and stories, Scottish dancing and a special Scottish quiz. Today we are all wearing tartan. We are also all wearing white tops and blue jumpers because the WHOLE school are going to make the soltire (the Scottish flag) by all standing in a position which looks like the soltire.
We are going to have a GREAT time!
