Scots Language Week Homework Task

To Parents/Carers,

You may already know that 19th-23rd January is Scots Language Week which will involve pupils taking part in a range of Scots-based activities in literacy and other curricular areas.

We would like all pupils to research a Scots poem, song or story this week (13th January) and practice their chosen piece at home with you. Pupils do not have to learn their poem, story or song off by heart – they can bring a copy of it in with them to share with their classmates. Throughout Scots Language Week, pupils will get the opportunity to share their chosen piece with their class. A selection of pupils from each class will get the chance to perform their poem, story or song at our assembly on Friday 23rd January.

Below are some useful Scots Language web links:
