🇩🇪🇺🇦🇪🇸EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES (deuxième partie) 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇩🇰
Our celebration of European languages included a fantastic Euro-snack at breaktime, prepared by some of our PTA members.
We also enjoyed entertaining lessons in Ulster Scots delivered by Matthew Warwick from the Ulster Scots Agency.
Our bairns had great 'crack' learning some Scots' words from the 17th Century that are still in use today.
It is sad to think that many more Scots' words and phrases have been lost to the passage of time.
Test yersel on this wee list o' words:
Clabber Glipe
Oxters Foundered
Een Scundered
Neb Thran
Fernenst Sleekit
Skitter Blether
Thole Loanan
Burn Kirk
Duncher Thon
Quare Hallion
