As you know, next week is Burns week in school. Children across all stages should learn Scottish poem with the infant classes learning a simpler poem which is not Burns! There will be a competition at each stage group and although all children should learn our poem they can choose to not to enter if they are particularly nervous or shy. Our poem this year is Cat and Mous by J.K. Annand. I hope you will help the children learn their poem and best of luck to all for the competition."
Mia handed me the above message from school yesterday. And attached to it is the poem which she is supposed to learn :
Cat and Mous
Said the poussie
Til the mousie,
'Let me intil
Your wee housie
We will play
And we will sing
And we will dance
A jingo-ring.'
Said the mousie
Til the poussie,
'Ye'll no get
In my wee housie.
Ye are BIG
And I am wee
And ye wad eat me
For your tea.
A very cute little poem isn't it?
