As a class we enjoyed finding out a little bit about Scotland.
We designed pamphlets to encourage people to come to Scotland, during this the Homecoming year. Have a read of some of our ideas and thoughts about why people should come to Scotland.
We have also typed up the Scottish poems that we learned so that you too can have a go at reading them. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
We have also included a quiz, made up by Andrew and Jordan, for you to try. Can you match the person to the reason they are famous. Answers to follow.

Pedro Puddock
Pedro paddock bides in Fife
Hasna hoppit far in life
He’s sae bored it nips his lugs
Catchin the same clarty bugs
Richt scunnered wi himself yin day
He loups Loch Leven and the Tay
A happy paddy nou that he’s free
He turbo-skites over the cauld North Sea
Oor paddocks in France in under and oor
Whaur he bangs he’s heid aff the Eiffel touer
Owre Europe he jouks, intae Egypt he jinks
Tae he’s keekin up at the stoorie auld sphinx
Then guddles aboot in the bay o Bengal
An staps for a jam piece at the Taj Mahal
But Pedro Puddock’s leggies are pure gowpin
Efter aw that intercontinental lowpin
Sair teeth By Ellie McDonald
I’ll hae tae buy a dentist’s drill
Tae gie my Teddy’s teeth a fill
I’ve telt him every nicht,
Clean yer teeth and dae it richt.
But Teddy disnae – that’s for shair-
And nou his twa front teeth are sair.
My teddy’s thrawn as thrawn can be
N winna pey nae heed tae me.
My mither says ‘weill that’s a laugh.
Wha dae ye think he taks it aff?
Snailie by Sheena Blackhall
Snailie snailie on the waa

Feech, snailie! Dicht yer snoot!
Slivvrin ower the watter spoot!
