Our school term subject this year is the Vikings.

We did work on longhouses and played a Viking game called Hnefatafl which is a bit like chess, because the intent is to capture the king, but it is different because of the layout and the ways to win. There are two sides: the defensive and the offensive.

The offensives goal is to capture the king.

The defensives goal is to get the king to a corner.

Jason made us this Hnefatafl board.

We are currently rehearsing the 2024 play Cinderella and Rockerfella. We have been rehearsing each week, trying to remember lines and lyrics to all the songs. This week we are also having a costume fitting.

The children and staff of Shapinsay Primary School will be performing “Cinderella Rockerfella” on March the 13th at 1.30pm and 6.15pm so don’t forget. Dont miss out on this once in a lifetime performance. The leading roles in the play are  Cinderella and Rockerfella. Also featuring Dan Deeny,  Buttons, Jason the Janny as Augustina and Val the Cook as Anastacia (the ugly sisters), and many other excellent cast members, too many to mention. This week we are fitting the costumes for all the children there are a few people without costumes yet however we should have everyone’s costumes soon.
