🌿 Coming Up in Primary 3/4… 🌿
🌿International Dog Day 🌿
We had a very busy (and very dog-themed!) International Dog Day in Primary 3/4, with lots of different activities throughout the day. The bairns worked so hard and did a fantastic job! We started with some dog-themed maths challenges, and they certainly weren’t easy! The children really rose to the challenge, showing lots of determination and great problem-solving skills. It turns out that four paws are also very handy when you’re practising your 4 times table! Next, we got creative with a dog drawing challenge. I was so impressed with the results… we definitely have a very creative bunch in🌿 Big Question – Becoming Archaeologists! 🌿
As part of our Big Question learning, we have been finding out all about the role of an archaeologist and how they carefully uncover clues and artefacts that help us learn about the past. Of course, we couldn’t just talk about being archaeologists… we had to have a go ourselves!

P67 Bee Walk
Last session P6/7 were visited by the RSPB, Species on the Edge group to learn about bees. Since then we have been taking part in monthly bee surveys to detect and identify species of bees in and around both the school buildings. This week, we took advantage of the super weather, and our new Primary 7 pupils took on the responsibility of taking the new Primary 6 pupils on their first ‘Bee Walk’. They helped them to spot and use keys to identify different species of bees. Both the bees and the children were busy at work!Latest updatesP6/7 First Week Back
We welcomed Primary 6/7 back to school this week. We have been settling into our class getting to know the routines. We have put together our Class Charter which we will all try to follow so that we can have a happy, safe class to learn in. We have been learning about Meta-skills this week so that when we have opportunities to play we can think about the skills we are developing and how they will help us in the future. We have been busy demonstrating what we know so that we are prepared for a busy year of learning. …Last year our P5-7 pupils participated in a poster competition to promote responsibility of dog owners picking up after their pooches! The competition winners worked with the SIC Environmental Health Department and have produced a short video (link below). Maybe you have seen some of the posters while you have been out walking in Lerwick! https://shetlandgovuk-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/billy_mycock_shetland_gov_uk/IQAE8QhqanCtS5aL0ethBn4HAd9W7cri4rR-08gr60rglsM?e=qY6yPF&referrer=Outlook.Win32&referrerScenario=email-linkwithembed&xsdata=MDV8MDJ8TWFyZ2FyZXQuQmlycmVsbDJAc2hldGxhbmQuZ292LnVrfDJmZjIxNTk1ZWEwNzRmNzBkYzI2MDhkZWYyZjhjMTEwfDRkZTdmM2FjOWUxMjQ4MWNiMmYxYjI0MTljMWExYzIxfDB8MHw2MzkyMTUzNDczODY3MjIwNDB8VW5rbm93bnxUV0ZwYkdac2IzZDhleUpGYlhCMGVVMWhjR2tpT25SeWRXVXNJbFlpT2lJd0xqQXVNREF3TUNJc0lsQWlPaUpYYVc0ek1pSXNJa0ZPSWpvaVRXRnBiQ0lzSWxkVUlqb3lmUT09fDB8fHw%3d&sdata=ejN6WkVCeEdsOW1CRlNYWjlWNWw0MFhPT2x2dEx6UDlSa0YxazBCQjExND0%3dLatest News
