We went on lots of visits, and had a lot of visitors in school. Here is just some of what we did!

We went to the Smithy and learned about jobs there.

We went to the Shapinsay shop and found out how it works.

Liam McArthur MSP came to talk to us about the Scottish Parliament.

We visited the Shapinsay kirk.

We visited the Heritage Centre.

We visited the Fire Station.

We donated some things to Cast Affs.

We learned about the role of the First responders
