As you already know, next week (23rd-27th January) is Spotlight on Scots Language Week. This special week involves pupils taking part in a range of Scots-based learning experiences across the curriculum. We also have Hopscotch Theatre Company coming in to perform ‘Scotland: The Nation of Innovation’ to all classes on Wednesday 25th January which they are looking forward to.
We would like to invite all pupils to research a Scots poem, song or story this week and to practise 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 will then get the chance to perform their poem, story or song at our special assembly on Friday 27th January.
Below are some useful Scots Language web links:
