Language and poetry at Buick Memorial

A Kist o Wurds

Available for over a year

Willie Drennan and the children of Buick Memorial talk about the Ulster-Scots words for body parts - as well as words like 鈥榞laur鈥�, 鈥榮heugh鈥�, 鈥榮leekit鈥�, 鈥榯hrawn鈥� and 鈥榗rabbit鈥�. Teacher, Helen McQuiston, explains that there is a great inter-generational experience as the children talk to their grandparents about the old Scots words; and finally, the children recite a poem called 鈥楥hamp鈥�. (Broadcast: 20 Feb 2005)
