The One Show came to film our school because we had won the Pearson National Teaching award for Primary School of the Year. P5/6/7 were filmed at the woods where we got to do special activities like orienteering.
We arrived at the woods and got sorted into our clans the clans were MacDonald clan, MacLeod clan, MacKinnon clan and Macrae clan. Each clan had a teacher and when we went to get the orienteering flag and bring back the answer from the flag and give it to the teacher the answers were all in Gaelic the clans were split into two groups one group would find the colour one group would find the object. We thought that going to the woods was really fun.
In the woods we were lighting a fire to cook bread on a willow stick. But we needed to whittle the stick to get the bark off the stick. Then we had to sterilize the stick in the fire and then we put bread dough to cook it over the fire. Then we ate the bread and it was really delicious. After we got to try light the Kelly kettle with Mrs. Hannett. AND WAS REALLY FUN.
While we were in the woods part of the film crew were in the school filming the other classes do their activities like doing the beach clean.
Once the P567s came back from the woods, we had to get changed a quick as possible because there was a big surprise in the hall.
Once we sat down, we all got ready for the big surprise- We had won the Primary School of the year award!!! Then Joe (the tv presenter) said that he brought the choir back together without us knowing. The P3 and P4 were practicing their song S’ann an Ilè. But when they performed it, they did it with Skipinnish!
It felt amazing that Skipinnish were here! They sang songs like Walking on the waves. It was so cool! We Thought that it was amazing seeing them that some of us got our t-shirt or jumper signed. We are really proud of winning the award and had great fun with the One Show!
