mAIRwavesFM

mAIRwaves FM have posted a new recording.

This was class Shetland’s first attempt at recording mAIRwaves and they were so excited.

They decided to share some information about their RME topic.

RME 1-02a

Having explored biblical and other Christian stories, I can show my developing understanding of key values of christianity and how they might be put into action in people’s lives.

SQA Work

“Wee G”

Class Yell  as part of their SQA Scottish Studies “Talking part in a performance with a Scottish context” wrote a short drama story.

With the help of Miss Antelmi, the script was written and everyone was given a part to play. The performance was filmed as part of their evidence.

Class Shetland then joined them as part of their joint assembly and another short drama performance was written.
This allowed skills such as listening skills, team work, communication skills, creative writing, performing to an audience and self evaluation to be developed and allow them to become successful learners and confident young people.

Open Morning

Class Staffa invited their parents into class for an open morning.

They watched the morning group and then the premier of their class assembly which they are going to perform to the whole school this afternoon.

It was a fun filled, interactive morning with the children sharing their skills and knowledge, empowering them to become successful learners and confident individuals.
