If there's anything you would like to share about your holiday, now is the time! Do so in English please :)

Let's start unit 2!

Unit 2 is about Scotland, which is a part of the UK. Let's see what you already know about Scotland...

Tell me everything you
know about Scotland!

Are you going to work online or in your book for Unit 2? This will be your final decision for the rest of Unit 2!

I am going to work online for Unit 2.

I am going to work in my book for Unit 2.

We're going to work on Lesson 1 today. You can find this on page 52/53 of your book, or in U2 Lesson 1 online.

Hogmanay

For most people December 31 is New Year's Eve, but in Scotland they call it Hogmanay. Historically, the Scottish people didn't celebrate Christmas. That's why Hogmanay became such an important festival. Did you know that both the first and the second day of January are public holidays in Scotland? That's because New Year's celebrations in Scotland last longer than anywhere else!

Answer the questions for exercise 1.

What do you do to celebrate New Year?

Are there any typical New Year's traditions in your area? If so, what are they?

Do you know any other New Year's traditions from around the world?

Read the text: Hogmanay

Work on exercise 2. You have ten minutes until we discuss your answers.

Ready? Work on exercise 3 (says group work, but also doable alone).

If you could choose a charity to support with the Loony Dook, which one would you choose? How would you dress your group?

What is something new that you learnt today?

Thanks for your efforts and I'll see you soon! :)
