Dec 25 – P5 Curriculum Trip to the Orkney Museum
Feedback: Thank you for bringing your class to the Orkney Museum and for your kind words about the visit. It was a pleasure to welcome your pupils and share both the museum’s collections and the current exhibition with them.
Outreach and learning are at the heart of what we do, and visits like yours are invaluable. For a class of 10-year-olds, engaging directly with local history and heritage helps bring the past to life in a way that textbooks alone cannot. It encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of connection to their community.
Your pupils were a credit to your school. They showed genuine interest in the displays, asked thoughtful questions, and engaged enthusiastically with the stories behind the objects. It was clear they were keen to learn and explore, which made the session even more rewarding.
We hope this experience will inspire them to continue discovering Orkney’s rich history.

Dec 25 – SSEN/FREEDOM STEM Workshop
Feedback: Thank you again for welcoming us into your schools yesterday. We were very impressed with the behaviour of the students, both in cooperating with each other and politeness. When we discovered a piece was missing from one of the kits, I borrowed one from another team and one of the boys asked me which team so that he could go over and thank them personally. If one of the team members was struggling the other students would boost their morale and assist them without taking over their task. I haven’t experienced this at other schools before and there were many anecdotes like this from both Firth and Evie School when talking to my colleagues. The p7s at both schools engaged well with our careers chat, asking lots of questions. We had staff that had never visited Orkney before and overall this left such a warm positive impression of Orcadians!
