Boccia
Active Schools came along today and showed us how to play Boccia. It was great fun and we became quite competitive!Constructing 3D Objects
We were learning to make skeletons of 3D objects using different construction materials. Constructing skeletons of 3D objects helps us to understand their properties. We used our critical thinking, collaborating and communicating meta-skills.Children in Need

The picture books are not stamped and could make nice gifts, but please note the novels are stamped on the inside cover with ‘Whalsay School’.

Electrical Circuits We had a super afternoon on Tuesday exploring electrical circuits through a series of activities that the learners rotated through. One activity asked them to label and existing circuit diagram while another asked them to create their own circuit diagram. There was a practical activity making a circuit with a lightbulb and a switch. Finally, the most popular activity, was an investigative task; the learners got a battery, a lightbulb and some tin foil and had to try to light the bulb. There was lots of excitement when someone managed to get the circuit to work! Table TennisSpectacular Snow
We have LOVED getting to play in and explore the snow. We wish it was deeper but we have enjoyed building things from the snow. Here are some photos of our snow creations. In our writing we have been learning about using interesting vocabulary and similes. Here is some vocabulary we think would describe the snow… freezing as cold as the moon as cold as a freezer extraordinarily cold as cold as a cold bath.Latest News
