The primary 5s had a very special visitor today. Paraig MacNeil came to tell us some Scottish Folk Tales and even taught us some songs in Norweigan and in Scots. We heard a tale about the Selkies, who were seal folk, and a tale about a nasty king who thought his joker (or jester) was foolish…little did he know that HE was the real fool. Our task was to retell one of the stories Paraig told us to a P4 and/or to our families when we got home, so… How did we do?
I really enjoyed Padraid the story teller when he told the story of the witches It was quite funny and he described It really well. The Instrument was good when he played it. His is blue bonnet was nice I would like to have It.
My favourite part of The Witches Of Kintail was when the guards found the fisherman sleeping in the wine cellar and he was sentenced to death to be burned! because they thouht that he was a wizard. The person who was going to light the match asked the fisherman if there was a last request before he died. He asked if he could put the blue bonnet on his head, and he said yes.Then lighted the match and threw it on to the heaps of logs. As soon as the flames were below his feet he shut his eyes tight and shouted Kintail and suddenly he was shooting through the sky 188miles per hour over the boreder over Ben Nivis and landed back in Scotland.
I liked Padraid because he was nice , funny and the best story teller that has came to school . But when I walked into the room to meet him I got a fight . Because I was thinking he was going to be a little young lady or something like that . But he was a tall Scottish man so you could imgine how I felt It was very good I wish he came every day to tell us a story.
I thought the story teller was great.he was qute funny. The story that he told us was very intresting ,it was about a man called John met 3 witches and they had 4 blue bonets that where magic. They could fly to the lords castle.
He was telling good thing’s about Highlander’s
1.he told us a poem about a guy called James Charmars
I liked Padraid he was funny. I liked when said about his
father telling these stores. The riddles too they where good.
My favourite story was the three witches of Kintail it was exciting .
He Was really funny the way he used his hands! I liked the riddles too.
I enjoyed Paraig the storyteller so much! My favourite story was The Joker because I understood it more than the one about the Seal. I would like it if Paraig came back again? Here is a riddle he told us “What is higher than the highest, lower than the lowest, dead people eat it and if you eat it you die”? Answer Nothing.
I really enjoyed the storytelling and will tell my
family , friends and everyone else .
I loved listening to Paraig and he made it sound really funny. It was so fun telling my dad and sister the story. I can’t wait to tell more people the story I heard.
I thought that Paraig was a great storyteller and the stories were great too. They all had a meaning. I liked the seal story the best but they were both great.
I really enjoyed the storyteller.I also enjoyed the songs and storyes that he told us
I really liked the stories,riddles and songs we did. My favourite story was the seal .
The story teller was very good and exiting to listen to so i hope he comes again and tells us another exiting story.
That is so good to hear! Well done, Caitlin for being a great storyteller and for being the first to post your homework on the blog! (Thanks to Caitlin’s mum too)
I enjoyed the story about The Joker, which Caitlin told me very well. She had a little trouble remembering to begin with, but once she got started there was no stopping her. I was able to picture the story due to her description.
Well done, Caitlin! You got there in the end! Could you possibly get mum or dad to write a wee comment too on how you got on? Thanks!
I really liked the storytelling but at home I found it hard to remember it but I did in the end.
