On the 1st of February our class said our Scots poems in preparation for our Burns Supper. A Burns supper is when we celebrate the birth of Robert Burns by eating haggis, turnips, potatos and by reciting poems. Like this one our class did:
Nursery Rhyme
A cat cam fiddlin'
Oot o' a barn
Wi' a pair o' bagpipes
Under her arm
She cud sing naething but
"Fiddle cum fee,
The mouse has mairrit
The bumble bee."
Pipe cat,
Dance mouse,
We`ll hae a waddin
At oor guid hoose.
Fish and Skitt
A note from Mr Devereux:
Everybody in the class has to choose a Scottish poem to learn and then recite from memory. There were 4 choices of poems, some short, some longer and one very long. Everyone did well, but Captain Chaos, Tashmeer, Izzy, Pony and Sov got through to the final. In the end Pony won the class competition and recited her poem at the Burns Supper.
If you try looking for some of the words in the nursery rhyme in a Danish-English dictionary you won't find them because they are Scottish words. We have an English-Scottish dictionary in our classroom to help us with less familiar Scottish words which are used in some Scottish poems and stories.

Hello Fish and Skitt
It's very impressive with all your traditions. We don't have so many.
