Scotland arrives in Southland

Room 12 have completed their Banner

Heading upstairs at Invercargill Airport

Attaching the Banner for all to see

Wow doesn't it look fantastic?!
Yesterday the Scottish rugby team were arriving in Invercargill.  Mrs Rolton thought this would be a good opportunity to welcome the team to our city.  We made a banner by adding flags, Scotsman playing the bagpipes and a Loch Ness monster.  Thanks to Mrs McCambridge and Mrs Dallas taking us to the airport, while Mrs Rolton waited patiently to hear about our adventure. 
We had so much fun and discovered these things about Scotland...
The Scottish flag has a navy blue background and a white cross.  It is called the St Andrew cross or Saltire.  It is one of the oldest flags in the world, dating back to the 12th century.
A Scotsman wears a kilt that is made out of tatan.  Tatan designs belong to clans - we think clans are like a family or iwi.
The Loch Ness Monster is a mysterious unidentified freshwater creature.  We think this is like a myth, it might be like a taniwha.
