On Thursday the 1st of March P6/7 recorded some Shetland Dialect poems about the weather. We used the webcam to record the poems in groups. Everyone made a really good effort at trying to pronounce some of the tricky dialect words then we had a go at translating the poems into English. The hardest part of all was making sure that no one laughed during the recording as everyone had to be really quiet!!
Please have a listen and tell us what you think.

Great work on flashing lights. Maybe you could attempt some simple modular electronics or use a 555 Timer in a project. I bet some of you could attempt some simple computer programming!
Carry on with the Good Work.

The secondary pupils in the web site lunctime activity were impressed by the “Thunder” poem. It’s good to hear the dialect spoken rather than just written.
Well done!

This was interesting to listen to though the dialect is hard to understand! Do you use this dialect when speaking?

A lot of the children use some of the more common dialect words day to day such as “peerie” (small) and there is a lot of other words or phrases that are dialect as well. We are doing a lot of dialect work this term and hope to have a language and art display we have been working on ready before Easter.
