We  learned Scottish poems which we said in front of three judges from the Denny Burns club and at the Taste of Scotland event. Our family and class teacher helped us to learn our poems. The poems were: To a Mouse, To a Louse, To a Mountain Daisy, The First Date, Sharleen I’m Shy, The Coming o The Wee Malkies , The Ballad of Janny Mackay and The Evacuee.

We also learned  some Scottish songs for the Taste of Scotland event. We worked hard learning them and putting  in actions to make us feel better while we sang them and keep us smiling. The songs were: Ye Banks and Braes, Donald Wher’s Yer Troosers, Caledonia, Jeely Piece Song, Mary Mack and Auld Lang Syne.

We made roses to put up in the school hall and here’s how we made them:

1. First we  drew roses on plain paper and we had to use lines, shapes and sizes.

2. Then we had to trace them and put the tracing paper on polystyrene.

3. We used that to print on to paper with printing ink.

4. Then the teacher put them on red card and we had them finished.

With the original drawing we used water-colour paints and painted them with very light colours.

We did Scotland flags with different colours of tissue paper. First we had to draw the Scotland flag on the piece of paper and then we had to stick all of the blue bits and then the teacher cut the bits on the side off the sides.
