Lassies buying clithes , Mannies gettin’ bonny presents,

Roaring cars awae,

Fowk shouting “Taxi!,”

Lads whispering “Lets get a bite tae eat,”

Auld folk buying newspapers,

Tae see fits gan on in the world,

anither day in toon.

Listen here to me reading my poem and read it below

Twa days in a trot its been rainin noo,

Fowk gain aboot we brollys,

Fan I go oot the windaes start to brack,

I feel bitties o hard rack aff ma heed,

I hear fowk jumping aboot in puddles,

As I come in fae that that huge shower ,

Gled to be hame.

Read my Scots poem below and listen to me reading it here.

Teeny wee beasties,

Eating awa at their food,

A tak im oot,

N’d gae im a clap,

een runs awa.

A put the other een back,

Am greetin ti misel,

Mi Ma comes in i room

”Av foond im,” she says.

The gerbil gings back in ‘is cage,

Tiny wee beasties,

Safe and soond.

In writing, we have been writing poems in Scots dialect which is our usual dialect outside school. Here is my one about shopping in town. Listen to me reading it here.

Lassies runnin to get a the bargins,

Wee bairns scurlin, “I’ve lost ma ma,”

Listenin to the pingin o the tills,

Fowk whisperin, “I got this for twa pound,”

Ootside the shops there’s a sea a fowk,

I’m drappin a ma clithes as the fowk rush past,

Fit a day at the shops!

Yesterday we went to a Choices for Life event at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre where we heard stories about two people who took drugs.We also heard music from Bels Boys, Pacific Avenue, Macdonald Brothers and Natalie James. A theatre group called Pace did a play about drugs and how friendships can be broken due to it.

At our school we have a new kitchen for classes to cook in so that they can learn about healthy, fresh food.  Every Wednesday a cookery club meets after school.  We have a new cookery blog so that we can share what they do. Visit it here.

Yesterday we had a smoking talk for health week.  

A man from the National Health Grampian came to show us what happens to a smoker’s body when they smoke.

The effects of smoking can be really bad; you can get lung cancer, and stomach cancer.

Your teeth and skin become yellow and your house, breath and clothes, smell of smoke.

This jar of tar is how much tar a 20-a-day smoker puts in their body from smoking a year!
