On Monday we had a very special lunch. Mrs Taylor came in and addressed the haggis the dinner ladies cooked for us.She read the poem called Address to the Haggis. The haggis tasted delicious! Then back when we were in class we drew little Rabbie Burns pictures and wrote one of his poems around them. By Asia and Joann

Visit to Total Green Awards
On the 21st of January primary 6 were invited to Mareel to see the Total Green Awards. When we got there we were given stickers saying our school name and biscuits and juice. We watched some science tricks while we had those. One was an optical illusion. Val spun a magic wheel and we had to stare at it for 20 seconds then straight at a small rabbit. The rabbit instantly grew! When we spun the wheel the other way the rabbit got smaller. We saw a balloon trick too. In the auditorium we watched an animation made by Ollaberry who won last year. It was called ‘A Turtle’s Tale of a Plastic Bag’. It was about litter in the sea and it was very good! We can’t wait to take part in this competition. By Holly, Joann and Sophie.
Our Shetland dialect books
Primary 5, 6 and 7 made Shetland dialect books with Mrs Nicolson. First we translated the English to Shetland. Some people used dictionaries to help them. We could choose to draw pictures ourselves or photocopy them. We wrote them out on paper and then on the computer or just by hand. After we have finished all our books we will read them out to primary 1 and 2.
Science
On Tuesday Mr .Rose came into our class, primary 5,6 and 7. He talked about living things and how animals evolved into humans.He also talked about classification and we sorted things out into organic and inorganic piles. It was very interesting and we can’t wait to have him next week! by Scott and Emma
