Old Rayne Primary School.

I had a lovely day working with the whole school at Old Rayne Primary.

We spoke about the different Scots dialects and enjoyed readings in the Scots of Robert Burns and also in Aberdeenshire Doric.

The upper stages joined in with readings/discussions of 'To a Mouse' and 'Address to a Haggis' in preparation for the school's own Burns' Supper.

I also read 'The Gruffalo' in Scots, which was such fun and greatly enjoyed by everyone. Pupils have plans to turn this version of 'The Gruffalo' into a play.

I'm looking forward to returning on the 22nd Jan. to hear how preparations are going for the Burns' Supper/play and to offer a helping hand where required. 

Great children, lovely staff and a very enjoyable morning.

"Thank you very much for visiting us today. The pupils and staff really enjoyed listening to the stories and poems that you read to us.

 

We will work on our Doric play of 'The Gruffalo' and the Burns' poems to show you next time you visit us in the lead up to our Burns' celebrations.

 

Great way to kick off a new term in January with some Scots language - braw!"

 

"The children enjoyed listening to Deborah and loved hearing her use the Doric words. She read 'The Gruffalo' in Scots and the children loved it. Looking forward to next time."
