Ulster Scots Shared Education Lesson

Today Year 7EA came together with our partner schools to celebrate the diversity in our culture.  Following on from our Irish and Spanish lessons,  we invited a few members from the Ulster Scot’s Society to join us today to explore the musical and costume traditions and the history of the language and how it is incorporated into how we speak today.

 

Alan played the bagpipes and showed us the traditional costume for parades and special events.  Matthew explained the history of the Ulster Scots settlements, origins of the language and how we use these words nowadays and he taught us a funny song called 'Ye canne push yer Granne off the Bus!'  We enjoyed a tasty breakfast too and got out to play in the outdoor learning area.

 

We had great fun learning and playing together!
